1. NFS (Network File System) is a pure Linux2Linux filesystem.
Its performance "can" be better then CIFS or SMBFS.
This will depend on your setup.
I'd recommend to try a Linux File Server. (Many of the NASes around
are based on Linux. )2. If you have mixed transmission rates in the network, you'll have a lot
of negotiations and buffering ongoing. This should be avoided.
Try this: "ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100", if you e.g.want to
bring your GBit-eth-interface down to 100MBit. (sudo apt-get install ethtool)3. The rt-kernel should run on the FITPC. (I'll know soon)
There is no need to compile the kernel. No need to install
Ubuntu Studio.
It works on all Ubuntus (Jaunty) and Mints (Gloria). Just install it with "sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-3-rt linux-headers-2.6.28-3-rt" 07/03/09
4. Within MPD I configure multiple (ecasound-pipe)-outputs with different sample-rates, which I select via Minion.
If you feed MPD right into ALSA and plughw, you don't have to
take care about it.5. I've written my own little player (I called it "EcaSx") using Sox and
Ecasound.
The Sox package comes with an application called "soxi". This I use
to find out the file parameters to setup ecasound for playback.
EDIT: Hmmh. I need to check the ethernet tweak. I just brought my
GB/s-interface down to 100Mbit. Now the transfer of a 100Mb file takes 34s instead of 8.5s before.
