[SOLVED] Huge latency Snakeoil ISO - 1.0.0

[agent_kith]

Snakeoil ISO - 1.0.0.
Not suitable for high-quality playback now.
Huge latency MPD.Average about 2000 .For comparison TinyMPD not more than 10 latency!!!


Snakeoil ISO - 1.0.0.I even know why.There are constant disk access.Even when not playing a music file.To do the playback from RAM!!!

What version of MPD are you using? If the MPD is still scanning the databases, make sure you only run cyclictest after that has finished to get a more accurate result.

Also, can you confirm if TinyMPD is showing the results as nanoseconds (ns) or microseconds (us)?. Snakeoil uses the following command line:

Code:

cyclictest -t2 -p 80 -N -n -i 10000 -l 10000 -q

Where -N is showing the numbers in nanoseconds. 
 

Code:

-N       --nsecs           print results in ns instead of us (default us)

So 2000 is 2000 ns (nanoseconds), equates to 2 us (microseconds) and that's 0.000002 s (seconds).

I don't think any CPUs right now have a latency of 20 ns? To confirm run the above command line on a machine installed with TinyMPD and see if you get 10 or 10000.

Edit: I'd add some clarification notice in the cyclictest output window that the numbers are in nanoseconds.
