Oh yes I appologize, SoftQueeze has realy no delay ... That's what I want to achieve using a soft player on the Linux box ! mherger;283755 Wrote: > Take a peek at your memory: is the system swapping?

Not at all, no X, nor Gnome nor even FireFox on the Linux box, no graphical interface, nada ! Only text mode, largely sufficient for a future headless box ! The top command gives me 211184k used memory for 516852k total memory, and 0k used on the Swap ... Also less than 1% CPU usage while serving music to the SoftQueeze running under Vista on my laptop ... mherger;283755 Wrote: > There's "no" delay (sure there is, but it's a fraction of a second). > Yeah that would be cool, do you know about a command line player for Linux that would not bufferize ? I have my best HiFi in the living room, where my Linux box is also, so if I could use the box as the music receiver, and use the Logitech box to have also music in the bedroom that would be cool, but don't want to be annoyed by the delay in the Living room where I listen the most often to the music ... Any advice would be welcome ! Note : I just need a player, no controlling as I will use the Duet remote which is so cute ! Also, I only have to play MP3's, no FLAC nor Ogg or anything else if this could have more choice in players ... -- 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
