PCM stream from spotifyd to player too network heavy #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When looking in the spotifyd log:

"music_delivery:485 channels: 2 sample rate: 44100 streaming as: PCM"

It seems the music is sent from spotifyd to the player as raw PCM. This is very 
network intensive, and too much for the slower wireless Logitech devices.

For instance the radio only has 802.11g. So using wireless there is a lot of 
hickups, flowstops and under runs. Plug in a cable and they go away.

Is it possible to just send on the Ogg Vorbis to the radio? Or is the PCM 
dictated by the spotify library used.
