Change Release Notes

  • Audio playback time enhancement and uses even less cpu by processing the pre-buffer in one go, rather than in packets. Previous versions processed the pre-buffer per specified packet size (default is 256 bytes), this version processes it as one chunk (default 20,000 bytes). Decreases playback start time and cpu usage. Once pre-buffer has completed sending to EZ-B, the packet size of 256 bytes is used.

All preparation for the new ez-b v4.x/2 which starts shipping pretty soon! The new accessories, such as the inverted pendulum, etc are somewhat dependent on it due to the dramatic performance increase.
