1. If you stream PCM you'll have a high inrush the first couple of seconds and then it's quiet. With let say a streaimng/output buffer at e.g. 80000:320000 . That works quite well especially on a PI2 with 1GB RAM and its known awful shared ethernet/usb situation. Permanent streaming and playing via USB plus conversion work pumps the load up. However. Here the problems with the "next" song, as explained earlier, pops up. It's not nice, but I tolerate it. 2. With flac on the client you'll have another conversion going on locally. And that might keep the load at 2% even though the buffer is configured at 80000:320000. That high load IMO doesn't really reflect the CPU load required for the flac decoding, it more or less shows that there quite some bottlenecks in the way. You can decode a flac in 2 seconds offline. Having a continuous 300% more load of flac vs pcm doesn't make any sense, especially if the output buffer can easily swallow the entirely decoded file. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
