Yes, I think this is most likely the problem, although I've not seen any reports elsewhere. IIRC there are some settings available within the Amanero firmware updater which may have an effect on this. When I have the chance / patience I'll try making some changes and reflash..... > EDIT: I also wouldn't be surprised if the ES9018 is responsible for > this as well.

The available 9018 documentation is very scant regarding how it deals with this switching, but I too imagine it does a certain amount of buffering, but I would have thought it to be too little to really be noticable? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackhead's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
