Currently, after implementing memory-resident operation for mpd, upmpdcli, and diretta, the sound quality has improved significantly. Therefore, have you considered developing in this direction?
Yes, interesting. AudioLinux offers this option:
Quote:7) With ramroot option you can load the entire system to RAM for a record reactivity and general performance. This way you can run a system without drives

Ramroot is slightly different from PxE booting though. With PxE booting you can do so with any Linux operating systems. Ramroot is designed for Arch Linux but may work with other Linux distros....

Guess I can investigate how Arch Linux works with Snakeoil, and if it's good, maybe migrate over? Big Grin Something in the medium to long term I guess.

Please excuse for a layman question...... does PxE booting also can boot without a boot disc?  So the whole OS is already in the RAM? Shy
