Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

Now this feature will in theory turn any player into a memory player. Copying files to and from this disk, and then play is kindda tedious but will think of ways to improve on that in the future.

Why the choice of ramfs and tmpfs? Try both and let me know what you think. Technically, using tmpfs may incur some swap disk I/O, and that defeats the purpose of a RAM disk. ramfs don't have that issue, however, ramfs doesn't really tell you if you run out of space. So, with anything hifi - it's all about picking your poison.

Stay tuned.

I suspect, if SO will copy the next-to-play file into the ram disk at the background while playing the current, then it'll be close to perfect. Heart
