xmms cd playback bad
Hi
when I play a cd through xmms it's very laggy (ie a little pause every second or so). cds play fine though workbone or whatever. also i notice that the hd led flashes a LOT when playing the cd which seems strange to me. mp3s play nicely, no probs, only cd not good. Can anyone help with the lag problem? slack 9, athlon 1700 w/ 512 meg ram, alsa 9.6 drivers, xmms using oss. thanks. |
Hmm,, XMMS works like a dream for me. Try downloading the souce and recompiling it.

thanks for the suggestion, I have a hunch that won't fix it though...
i'll try when i get a chance to d/l it anyway. for some reason it looks like the CD is being cached to the hard drive (would explain why my hard drive light flashes when playing cd). Is there a way to stop xmms doing this? i've tried changing the buffering setting but no joy... please help me ;) |
I'm not really sure. When XMMS reads the cd, it converts the audio from the cd into a wav format. So thats whats probably going on in your system.
