Hi Vanush,
remove the gui sink. It also limits the sample processing speed and thus
is equally bad as throttle.

Hi,
It doesn't help, I still consistently drop samples.
I tried increasing the buffer size in udp_source_impl.cc. I can record
to .wav perfectly for about two minutes before the flow graph suddenly
exits with (I'm assuming) a segfault.
For reference, I have attached images of the sender and receiver.
Surely, this sort of streaming has been done before? I am using a
BeagleBone Black running Ubuntu 12.04 (which runs fine - no
overflows). The correctness of the FM receiver is less of a concern
than the dropped samples.
Regards,
Vanush

Hi Vanush,
ok. Throttle does not _do anything_ with the samples. It just
slows down the computational speed that they are processed with.
Remove it, it breaks your flowgraph.
As said before, the WARN:... warnings stem from your UDP source.
Data does not get processed fast enough; that's throttle's fault
(before, the audio sink was limiting
your sample processing speed, which is in its nature).
Your flowgraphs are _not_ running at the same rate; they _may_
process samples at the same average rate (that's what throttle
does, stop the sample flow when it's faster
than specified), but throttle does not convert sample rates.
Refer to existing Receiver flowgraphs from the internet on how to
do things right, and please remember: 192kHz input MUST be
downsampled for audio usage.
Have a nice day,
Marcus Müller
Ok, I still don't understand why I'm getting so many dropped packets.
sender
FCDPP -> UDP Sink
receiver
UDP Src -> _Throttle_ (at 192KHz) -> WBFM Receive -> Wav File Sink
Note: no audio sinks.
I constantly get "WARN: Too much data; dropping packet."
Wave file is full of skips, yet both flowgraphs are running at
the same rate?

Hi,
If i add a rational resampler to match the audio rate
before the UDP
sink, I can get a continuous output, but it's of terrible
quality due to
the loss of information.
You are always going to have to throw information away. You
have 192k
that you are trying to fit into human hearing, so you *must*
filter
and then down sample.
How wide is your BPF/LPF ? Is it more than your soundcard can
handle ?
How does the flowgraph work having a sample rate
'mismatch' when the
FCDPP block is in the same graph?!
Your soundcard (probably) expects 44k1. The resampler takes
care of
this, but of course, 192k is not going to go into 44k1. You
need to
filter first.
Could you give me a hint in working around this issue?
As I said before, google has plenty of examples of FM
receivers with grc
(Google for gnuradio FM receiver grc, I'm sure you'll find loads)
Here are two working flowgraphs that start at 192k and 250k
respectively:

They are actually a multimode receiver I wrote as an example
for a
friend, and a multimode transceiver for ham radio use, but
they show
the FM receive chain.
With both, you'll note I have a variable BPF so I can listen to
broadcast stations on MW/LW, and FM, SSB, or CW stations on
the amateur
radio bands.
For pure FM you can drop the selector blocks, and just
concentrate on
the NBFM receiver chain
Note if you need to be tuning with the FIR filter, you'll
need to define
filter taps. I used a simple LPF.
Hope that helps
Iain
