Hi everybody, I'm new in this forum but I also did some searches here and googled for it, but there is still a question.
I'm interrested in the Squeezebox Duet, but before purchase I wanted to try the functionnalities. So I prepared a "box" running Linux (based on a P3 1GHz / 512 Mb RAM), configured with a basic Debian Etch. It runs openssh, samba and squeezecenter, all installed using apt-get install xxx (added the debian.slimdevices.com source in sources.list). All is working now very well, and I made several tests using for listening SoftSqueeze, iTunes and Winamp on a Windows machine, and mpg123 on the Linux box (the same running the server). I also tried the Telcanto PDA remote control which works fine, even if I don't find it "beautiful", well, no matter I will buy this Duet funny remote ! But in every player I tried (SoftSqueeze, iTunes, Winamp, mpg123), I have a delay of approx 4 sec. between a new song starting in the SqueezeCenter interface and the "real" start I hear ... Thought it was because of some buffering, but even by setting the buffering to minimum values in Winamp, I have the same delay ... Does anyone know if there is the same delay using the "real" SqueezeBox receiver ? And if yes, why is there a delay on "soft" players and how can we get rid of this ??? (I thought I could put my silent linux box near the HiFi using an optical-out enabled sound card to listen in the living room, while the "official" receiver could be used in the Bedroom) Thanks a lot for answering ! -- sierramike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sierramike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45327 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
