Keep in mind that all empeg-player threads run using realtime scheduler which means that any "normal" programs that are in background gets very little time, as they have much lower priority.

...Which is fine; ftp is very slow w/ the player working, but it at least runs... (well.. Did.. mine broke; see my above post..) the user can always "quit" to give the background item more attention..

Also, this little hack is worth noting: (from developer site:)
The following directives may be placed into the empeg player's configuration file, /empeg/var/config.ini.

[Startup]
ReduceCache=n

n = number of chunks to reduce the cache by (dev. max 48)
