Currently there are vfs issues in particular for samba and nfs. I have seen quite a few problem reports related to those. MAybe something went wrong with all the rework on vfs.
It looks like setting buffermode=1 is fixing my issue, so I think the current issue I have is just down to the pretty high bitrate of the file (6Mbit/s), the limited buffering in paplayer and my not-great network (I'm going through a wireless bridge at the moment).
Any other way of increasing buffering in paplayer?
I think there is still another issue. fritsch and MrNice were seeing an issue with local content (and I've seen sink underruns in the past), but I'm not seeing the issue at the moment.
One thing for fritsch/MrNice to try is adding (to config.txt):
Code:
hdmi_samples_limit=384000
You will need a firmware from March 25 or newer to try this (latest Milhouse build would be fine).
That will limit the physical audio rate to 8 channels @ 48kHz (by default it is double this).
This means Kodi (and Pi Sink) can run at e.g. 6 channels @ 96kHz, but audio will be resampled on GPU down to 48kHz (when multichannel).
If this fixes the problem, then there is GPU side problem of getting 6 channels @ 96kHz out through HDMI.
If it doesn't fix it, then the problem is more likely on Kodi end.
