I've also noticed bad quality with mad plugin (which is not the default, this was done for 770 users, lower cpu performance). I don't understand, why as mad should have same quality afaik
With all the rest, quality is the same as other players. Flac encoding is better..

The default equalizer is in the mp3 decoder and will only work for mp3 (read a few posts above). You need the additionnal eq plugin (still not packaged..), put it to 10 band. CPU usage will be high unfortunatly.. (so, for mp3, use the default one)

I also see these limitation with alsa.
So I wonder what's the advantage of using alsa (a2dp?).. initially I didn't put it for these problems.

Queueing problem you mean from external program? xmmsctrl?


Onyros, which theme is that? tell me, I'll include it in the theme package, looks good!
