madplay output squeaky and scratchy

[rmdijkman]

Dear all,

I am trying to play MP3's using madplay, but they play all squeaky and scratchy. I have about 8 MB of free (non-swap) memory and madplay only uses 40-50% of the processor time :confused:

I already killed all processes I don't need. If I also kill php-thttpd, the problem seems to be solved, but I don't want to kill that processes.

Did anybody have the same problem, or have any suggestions to solve the problem.

Regards,

Remco

have any suggestions to solve the problem.
Buy wl500g deluxe, it has more RAM available.

Already got it. It rocks :) (well, except for that little problem with madplay that is).

[Oleg]

Well, buy PC then. :D

You could build busybox with renice support and assign madplay a higher priority, eg:
renice -5 `pidof madplay`

[rmdijkman]

Yeah, that works.

I installed the 'procps' package, which contains 'snice'. That way I didn't have to rebuild busybox.

[Oleg]

So, it works fine now? :)

Yep, just madplay just needed more processor time.
