Today I was listening to some music I decided to open up the webinterface of my Rockstor NAS server.
While playing a quiet song from the NAS i monitored the network activity:
View attachment 55531
What you see is three small(er) spikes at the start of the song, and then two more (top of the chart is 4.3Mb/s). The song is 2m25s long. Each sample / spike is 1 second long.
At the end of the chart you see the start of the next (more uptempo) tune.
The whole chart is ~ 3 mins long.
These are FLAC files. The song played is 11Mb.
It seems my C658 during the 2m25s long song loads data to its buffer 5 times. The active time for loading is 5 seconds (max) of the entire tune. The rest of the time music is played from the C658's own buffer (RAM).
I highly doubt that Etherregen does any good in this kind of scenario
