[Gumstix-users] mpg123 stuttering problems

[<pet...@du...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use mpg123 to stream internet radio stations but am having
trouble with stuttering. A stream is completely unintelligible if not
played with 2x downsampling, even then there is regular stuttering.
However if the stream is played in mono mode no downsampling is required
for smooth playing. The internet connection is ruled out because these
problems are still present if streaming from a local file on the
gumstix, madplay can also play a local file at full rate in stereo with
no problems. I am running a 400xm connex with an audiostix2 and a
wifistix. There is a tiny thread on sourcefourge about mpg123 v59
problems on ARM but I assume it would not have been included in the
buildroot if it was not feasible. (There is no later version than 0.59
in the buildroot and I can't get v0.64 to compile)
Has anyone else had similar problems? I would be very grateful for
anyones thoughts on this.

Many thanks,

Peter
