Audio Buffer Size - JST1963 - 06-22-2019
Tim, quick question: what is the actual function of the Audi Buffer Size in the MPD options?
What does it do if I increase it? So far I haven't seen/heard/felt any difference changing it...

Its just an internal 4MB memory buffer that contains audio data read in from the source. Among other things it helps prevent interruptions in playback if source audio data can't be read fast enough. Its also is used for cross-fading tracks.
It's described in the documentation.

With default value (4096), max crossfade is 10/11 secondes, im using 5376 for 14 seconds for example.

OK, got it.
That also means I don't need to change it since it has no effect on my system settings. (Cross fade is set at 7 seconds so I assume 4Meg is enough)
Thx!
