When I log onto a RealAudio broadcast, I hear the typical 20 second commercial prior to the live stream, but then about 1 to 1.5 seconds into the live stream sound stops, and the live stream clock stops dead also.
The RealAudio stream is compressed audio, and if you don't have muscle with you computer P166+ or better, then you will loose a lot of the information... I've been messing with RealAudio with a 10baseT ethernet, which is great, so I get 130bps streams and have clear sound...
If you streaming accross a modem with PPP, then any line noise or resent packets will pause your audio stream...
Does it stop at the same spot?
yes
Do you have libc5.4.44?
yes, and the 2.0.33 kernel
Do you have over 32meg of memory and running a lightweight windowmanger?
32 meg ram with KDE.
What's the load while you are streaming? I usually stay around 1.2 or less when I'm playing...
CPU load shoots straight to 100%
Does the test realaudio file(s) work... like welcome.ram?
welcome.rm suffers the same fate!
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a fix?
SuSE usually spits out kernel/OS messages on console 10 (CTRL+ALT+F10); see if you are getting a device busy error, or if there are any related error messages on that console...
error_code [+64/80] , whatever that means (plus a page full of lots of other stuff I don't understand). I'm a newbie.
RealAudio has a performance thing with it where you can see how the engine is behaving: latency/resent packets/dropped packets/bits per second/etc See if it's not dropping packets or trying to resend things etc...
How do I do this? PS: Thank you for the help!! Lawrence Sayre <lsayre@integrityonline13.com>
