3.2. General options

-D, --disk-realtime

Try to use realtime (SCHED_FIFO) scheduling for disk thread, a background worker thread doing file decoding and sample rate conversion. Try this (and optionally -Y) if you experience short audio dropouts caused by other programs (e.g. web browser loading a complex page).

-Y, --disk-priority <int>

When running -D, set scheduler priority to <int> (defaults to 1).
