Hello,
I have a macmini ppc (g4) that has the following issue with aucat:
When using aucat -l, the music skips quite often, but if I use
mplayer without aucat as server, it works perfectcly. I must say
that the same issue has mpd, that is, using mpd without aucat as
server, has the same skipping problems, although a little less, so
it seems to be the server mode that causes problems. Everything is
fine on my i386 laptop.
I'v tried renicing to -20 as per man page, but without luck. I've
also tried raising memory settings with sysctl, also without luck.
Please tell me what other info you need since I'm no expert.
tks
a dmesg is *always* helpful with hardware issue.
the output of 'audioctl' while you are experiencing problems is probably
useful (there's a faq entry for audio issues, btw).
did you try running aucat with '-m play'?

Using "aucat -m play -l" has the same issue
Here is audioctl while running mplayer with audiocat -l:
(running 4.6 release)
$ audioctl
name=AOA
version=
config=aoa
encodings=slinear:16,slinear_be:16,slinear_le:16*,ulinear_be:16*,ulinear_le:16*,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*,ulinear:8*
properties=full_duplex
full_duplex=1
fullduplex=1
blocksize=8192
hmm, the i2s drivers round the blocksize down:
return size & ~PGOFSET;
maybe try 'aucat -l -b 8192 -z 4096'

Thank you very much!
It worked with 'aucat -l -b 65536'
the '-z' option does not exist though.
