(sorry if I drag this off further, but I've got nobody nearby who'll appreciate how cool this is)

Right now, as I type, I've got my empeg playing normally with empegVNC serving the display to my PC, while WinAmp streams a different playlist entirely off the empeg (thanks to HiJack v159), while I FTP off several hundred megabytes of work data (again thanks to HiJack) to the same PC.

No gaps or skips in the audio. The vis on empegVNC is dropping no more frames than normal and the display on the empeg itself is not losing frames as far as I can see. I can't give you a throughput measure on the FTP since the files are too small and my FTP client doesn't show overall bandwidth.

COOL This thing SO has overhead to spare.

FYI, here are some vital stats on the player right now (its been doing this for 10 minutes now)

MK2a: 29G, +35C/+95F
Playlist:0000, Fid:
Cac:480-510s, Buf: 81, Fre:80-120s
LoadAvg: 2.10, 1.71, 0.89

K, my fiancee just dropped by, showed her what the empeg was doing, she said cool, but I don't think she appreciates it fully. She just said 'Linux...?' knowingly.

Weeeee! (thats glee, btw)
