Someone found a background process was starting up bt scans regularly that tanked a2dp streams but it doesn't sound like that is happening to you. I did notice quite a while ago that the nvidia driver would interrupt a2dp while scrolling or moving windows. It must work some evil like disabling interrupts for long periods. But that would happen even with a wired mouse. Do you have anything special with low-latency or other kernel process scheduler options? > When I play audio from a dvd, there is a little glitch in some of the > audio frequency's, I think there is an issue with the sbc codec it > appears only in some audio frequency circumstances. > - Can we create a freq spectrum sweep to test the sdc codec on some > glitches? I suspect some less conservative encoder settings would help here, but if you have an audio clip you can share, I'd be able to hear for myself. > When playing audio, it gets buffered, and when you hit the pause key the > media should stop directly.

I would only try this with native pulse clients. -- Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
