Hi,
What are the problems you are seeing with cAudioRepacker enabled?
The problems I have are that sometimes, the audio is not completely smooth, they have some breaks, in live radio.
Are there any problems when you replay a radio recording?
The recordings play without problems.
This sounds like buffer underruns when listening to live radio. When cAudioRepacker is enabled and with the recent ringbuffer patch, you'll get each audio frame (~ 24 ms) as soon as it is available.
If the output device starts immediately with playback, it is likely that there are buffer underruns, especially when xine drops some audio frames when syncing.
I don't know whether xineliboutput has some setup options to control buffering in live mode. In vdr-xine's setup page you can specify an initial buffer size (e. g. 4 video frames ~ 160 ms) which must first be established before replaying at normal speed starts.
BTW: The software decoding solutions need such a buffer to compensate latency issues with the threads involved in the chain from input to output.
Bye.
