Hi there,
I've just started trying to set sound up on my Sarge box (I didn't need
it before) and have run into a problem.
Basically, if I play sounds using mpg123-oss, music plays just fine. If
I play music using mpg123-esd with the esound daemon running the sound
is extremely choppy. It seems to play for .25 of a second, then nothing
for .25 of a second, and so on. I've tried niceing esd and mpg123 to
-19, giving both realtime privs using chrt, all to no avail. Any ideas?
I need to use esd because I want to (eventually) play audio over my LAN
and NAS seems very primitive in comparison (e.g. no ALSA support). Esd
seems to be the best option to me.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Maybe use the free mpg321 instead. Works fine for me with esd on a slow
machine.
Regards.
