BTW I have no problems crashing jive_alsa with the x86_64 version of SqueezePlay either (jive_alsa assert failure: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer). Just switch between two Favourites as fast as you can manage and you'll crash it rather sooner than later. It's not what I usually do I just ran into this issue by chance. And it may be due to pulseaudio rather than using ALSA only.

But CPU load on idle is no better or even worse than with my build. How do I build squeezeplay-pulse? I didn't see this mentioned in the makefile. ralphy wrote: > > There is also the Jivelite or the Material Skin + Squeezelite option you > could try. Jivelite + Squeezelite is my plan in case I can't make SqueezePlay work. I've already built Jivelite and Squeezelite is in the repository. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ D1eter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69813 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111606 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
