Latest State of play on 320kbps files

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Have modified the client so that the playing of the audio is in a different
thread, and have found this doesn't help.

I've set up 200 x 4608byte buffers.

The client waits for it to reach 180 buffers full before playing.

I watch the numbers shoot up, but as soon as they hit 180 (the point i have
it set to start the audio) they drop back to 1 buffer full even quicker...

Basically the libmad library can't process the stream quick enough to keep
the buffer filled :-(

The only saving grace at the moment is that there is a lot of processing
that still has to be done on the stream before it goes into the output
buffer, so i'm going to try and move all this processing to the output
thread to give libmad the maximum amount of time.

Regards
Tony
