Look folks.
Forget this Dynobot "sound-adjustments" stuff. What he suggest has nothing to do with "sound" in the first place. He's just using it as a hook. Let's have a look what he offers: > > * Improving the priority of the Audio threads > * Change audio thread scheduling from 'other' to FIFO > * Improving the latency of the Operating System with Kernel adjustments > * Change Squeezelite priority and thread scheduling to FIFO > 1. He is not improving anything. He is changing a process priority. And the actual relevant audio output thread he's not even touching. He obviously doesn't understand the difference between process and thread. 2. The key - audio relevant - thread - the output thread - runs elevated (realtime) and fifo anyhow, but only if preemption is enabled in the kernel already. You'd basically need to run a realtime kernel. 3. The output thread priority you set within the squeezelite setting mask. No need for a tool. 4. And then he wildly changes 4 interrupt priorities and some useless parameters and calls it "kernel adjustments". To see real latency effects you'd need to tune the entire process and interrupt chain. And best of all. To lift """his""" outstanding findings on a higher level, he's providing these great tools for the entire "Debian" and "TinyCore" world. Great done Dynobot. Changing an alias won't change a mans attitude.
