@ Triode

No offense. 
I havn't seen any feedback so far. Just  a  "keep going" would have been
OK. I could stop bugging the crowd and you with my stuff. 
If you do not intend to implement any of it into SOA -- I'm fine, I'll
stop here.

99% of my proposals are generic and partially IMO seriously improve any
board performance/efficiency. 
I apply pretty much the same stuff (with slightly different parameters
though) to my RPI B+ (works as a client and outperfoms - after serious
HW and SW tuning -  my CubiTruck as a player nowadays). 
Obviously I use different CFLAGS, kernel, I do overclock it, asf,asf for
the RPI. Every boards needs a slightly different  treatment on top of my
rather generic recommendations to perform best.

@praganj
You know where I'm coming from. ;)
You need to findout the best CFLAGS for a iMX6 and compare it with
Triodes choice. E.g. squeezelite easily works 50% more efficient when
using optimum CFLAGS on the CT. You'd basically have to recompile
(makepkg --asroot) the squeezelite package after updating the
/etc/makepkg.conf with the correct CFLAGS .
I did have an UDOO board over here some time back. Assigning process
affinities is no rocket since and should also work with the Wandboard. A
4-core is even nicer. You could put eth0 on CPU1 and the USB DAC on
CPU2.
I don't know what's different with the Wandboard.
Major improvements can be achieved by turning off HW features like
GPU/Wireless/BT/IR etc. On my CT there is a fex file. You'll do it in
there. I don't know how it can be done on the Wandboard.


@owen smith
For  headless operation in a local and private client-server environment
there is no need for IPV6. 
The vast majority of users won't make use of it. And it can simply be
turned off. 
These ARM boards really enjoy, if they are offloaded from all kind of
stuff. 
This is a development thread btw. 
A feature in the base SOA  network config: IPv6 = y/n  could by a simple
solution to meet everybody demands and can easily be introduced.   

Enjoy.
