After a lot of > investigations, i've got some assumptions: I have now greatly improved playback by increasing the buffer size. This helps for bitrate raises which last about 3..5 seconds. Since such long raises are pretty rare, it would probably be acceptable. Unfortunately, there is still one hurdle: When all the buffers (that is: my receive buffer plus the kernel buffer) get empty, playback gets choppy. When it gets choppy once, it never recovers again :-(. Thus, I would like to restart when this happens. The question is: how do I know that the kernl buffer was underrun? The DMX_GET_EVENT don't seem to provide this information? How do I know that the kernel buffer was underrun? BTW: A long time ago someone wrote to this list that DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE is not really supported. Has this changed or is this still the case? -- No software patents in Europe -- http://nosoftwarepatents.com -- Josef Wolf -- jw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --
