Why, when my wireless card claims to be working at 24.0Mb/s am I getting broken output when playing over ESD? It's not the sound card - when I FTPed the file to mainpc and mpg123ed it, the sound plays perfectly. I've streamed music through mainpc like this before with an 802.11b network with no issues, which should in theory be slower - so what's happening to make this not?
To make it even worse, having tested it on wired network (100Mb/s), it works fine but shows less than 2% utilisation!
Gotta love computers.
Maybe i'll try a lower bitrate file. This one is rather heavily sampled (about twice what I would normally rip at). Shouldn't make a difference though, since I believe ESD works at 16bit, 128k sampling and any output should be converted to that.
Nope, no difference.
Grrr.
