Best way to run Snakeoil?

[agent_kith]

Hi,

I wanted to try out snakeoil. A couple of newbie questions plese:

1. Anyone managed to run snakeoil in a virtual machine in a Synology NAS? If so, is the sound quality impacted at all?

2. I see that snakeoil is also available for the Raspberry PI. Running on the PI vs running on a PC - which has the better sound quality?

Thanks

Best way is:
1. Native Ubunutu (This is because of custom kernel, e.g. Real Time kernel). Or Raspberry Pi via Raspbian
2. Via a Linux container (LXC). You get native CPU speeds, but lose the ability of a custom RT kernel
3. Run it as a virtual machine (this requires you to pass through some CPU features and hardware over).

As for sound quality. It's entirely subjective. Objectively the above is ranked in order, subjectively anything is possible.
