Some very basic observations, hope they are useful. Some may be a result
of my (lack of) understanding.
- Control-c will not stop it. It catches the signal, and reports "Signal
caught, exiting!" but does not. I had to kill -9 to stop it...
- When first run, I get 30 logged errors of "xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0:
ERROR no room on ep ring".
- fm was much better than the old version, but -fmwb was the same. I
narrowed it down to -o 4. That alone destroyed all improvements. By using:
./rtl_fm -f 95.1M -M fm -s 170k -A fast -r 32k -l 0 -E deemp - |
aplay -r 32k -f S16_LE
It was much better. I'll play around more this weekend when I have more
time.
Overall, very good. Night and day compared to before. Also, cpu usage
seemed less. Top reports about 3% vs 6% from before.
