You can adjust for fixed delay using the settings page for LMS. The find grain level of sync performance tends to depend on the os and audio hardware which is why squeezelite may not be as good as a real squeezebox (though when running on squeezebox hardware then I'd hope it is close....) The problem is the variable delay due to buffer fill which will depend on the accuracy of the device and device driver as to whether it is known and well controlled or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
