    gpSP audio silliness

    I'm experiencing some weird sound issues with gpSP. After about twenty minutes of playing, the different tracks of the background music will lose sync with each other. It literally sounds like someone hired a middle-school percussionist and he starts dragging the tempo every bar. I've tried...

    The McDonald's guy recognized my Pandora!

    I was on my lunch break from my job at Walmart, and the drive-through guy at McDonald's recognized the little computer I was using to play MP3's. He said he heard about it online. The conclusion I've drawn from this? Working-class chubby bespectacled American boys love Ashens!

    How to view gpSP's docs?

    I'm trying to get gpSP up and running. I'm pretty sure the answers lie in its documentation, but I can't get to it. Hitting Y on the minimenu doesn't work (works for other apps, but not this one), and clicking on the readme in xfce doesn't do anything. Is there some doc reader I need to have...

    PURELY HYPOTHETICAL: Broken DSP's, and you'd never know it?

    So, given how the DSP is currently doing about/exactly zilch, is there any way to test if the DSP in my Pandora actually works? It hit me while I was thinking about the WiFi situation that the same thing could happen to other chips, then it hit me that it could happen to the DSP and you'd never...

    Youtube 240p loads slow. Is that normal?

    Using Firefox 4, I can watch youtube videos at 240p, but they load well below playing speed, requiring me to pause and let it buffer for a good five minutes if i want to watch the whole thing straight through. Is that normal? I thought the Pandy was supposed to be decent with 240p youtube...

    So I guess it's not getting here til Monday ;_;

    Got my shipment notice yesterday, said it should be 24-48 hours with UPS, excluding weekends. Hoping to get it today, since tomorrow is the weekend. Well, it didn't come today. Normally I wouldn't go online and cry like this, but ;_; ;_; ;_; and ;_(

    Hmmmm.... Antivirus? Antimalware?

    So last time I checked, Linux-based systems were not particularly known for attracting the wrath of malware-makers. Don't think that's changed, but just checking with you guys to make sure that's still the case. If I did decide to protect my Pandora in some manner, is there any compatible...

    Confused about pre-orders and premiums?

    So, are people still able to pay the lower price to get put at the end of the queue, or has non-premium order placement ended completely?

    Preparing an SD card

    I'd like to get started preparing an SD card full of ROMs while my Pandora is still on its way, but just one question: I'm using a Win7 PC. So if I were to stick an SD card into my PC, load it full of ROMs, then stick it in my Pandora, would the card and/or files be in the correct format...

    Steam on Pandora?

    Does the Steam client get along well with the Pandora? I'm sure I have a few Steam games that the Pandora ought to be able to handle (once I get it) but I've actually not seen anyone discuss Steam here, so I'm not sure if that'll be a viable thing or not.

    So, my bank thinks I might be a terrorist.

    Trying hard to get my hands on one of these awesome little Pandora things, but apparently a $542 debit charge to the UK is enough to mark me as a possible identity thief and horrible person. <_< So now my order is suspended until i call the bank and sort it out. And I can't call the bank...

    Streaming video on Pandora?

    It may sound silly, but whether or not I decide to buy a Pandora depends heavily on how well it handles streaming video, particularly Youtube. I ask because the few things I've heard about this do not sound very good. If I buy one today, would I be able to watch Flash video, or would I need...
