RE: Buffer update

Over time my taste has evolved, and my system has evolved to a much more resolved state. Now I strongly prefer

audio_buffer_size "376"
buffer_before_play "10%"

another change is now essential. I ssh into mpdpup and enter the following

ulimit -l unlimited
ulimit -i unlimited
ulimit -u unlimited
ulimit -s 16384

This greatly improves the coherence and clarity from top to bottom. Trouble is, the settings only last as long as the ssh client is open. So I keep a small tablet powered up with xterm open to act as a console for mpdpup and ensure these settings are in force before any serious listening.

Recently went to high end audio show. Did not hear anything at any $$ that I'd trade for my system. I think the mpdpup could be improved but it is already kicking some serious butt.
