Does this makes sense?
CDROM drive playing audio can something have long lags due to way audio is recovered so can vary from drive to drive - certainly newer drive with buffers help. The cdda2wav is a ripper type program so ries to be accurate so may slows things down. Also if not using Pi3 - processing power affects performance and time to start playback PCM should work- Flac encoding is an extra step which maybe adds up to 5 secs to playback start . What type of player is being used ? Make sure no special setups for Wav/PCM (e.g resampling) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109718 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
