Dynobot - I can understand where Idolse is coming from. Are you sure that every user of mpdPup will find the PID Nos 3,9,13 & 16 running the same processes?Dynobot wrote:ldolse wrote:I'll probably make 0.17 the default in the next release - I initially experienced some hiccups with it, but I'm now thinking these are related to my network and have nothing to do with MPD.
Regarding renice, while I understand what the command is supposed to do in general, I don't really understand these specific examples. While I understand -10 is the nice value, what are 3, 9, 13, and 16? I can't reconcile this use case with any of the documentation on renice. It seems to me a renice script would need to grep through the process list or cat some PID files to determine which processes to renice.
ot sure about MPDroid and similar. If not odds are some other android audio app should be able to play back the stream. Right now you need to set this up manually in mpd.conf, the wizards won't create a streaming output for you.
Hi Idolse
The numbers 3, 9, 13 and 16 represent the actual processes that are being reniced. These are the interrupts that handle the audio threads.
Here is a link to the source, it also has other information concerning tuning Linux for audio.

In my case for reference, they are:
PID 3 ksoftirqd/0
PID 9 ksoftirqd/1
PID 13 sync_supers
PID 16 ata_sff
Are those the same for you?
Thanks
