Cannot allocate FULL 4GB Buffer Size in Squeezelite on RPi 8GB

Hey Guys,

This is just a buffer memory size question. Please leave SQ discussion or opinions for another thread. Just trying to troubleshoot. I'm out of if their is a hint of someone injecting their SQ opinion.

I haven't messed around with my RPi 8GB for about four months. I'm finally going to get around to working on the RPi 8GB audio project in March.

When I played around with the squeezelite buffer settings at that time I remembered I couldn't allocate the full 4GB. Maybe got up to 3.9GB.

I forget why sometimes this happens. Is it because of TinyCoreLinux?

I'm just trying to prepare when I have to tackle this issue again. If it's something that cannot be resolved, that would be helpful too.

I tried the following and hit a roadblock at "-b 2097152:2097152". I entered around 3.8 - 3.9GB and it worked fine.

1. default, no setting
2. -b 1048576:1048576
3. -b 1572864:1572864
4. -b 2097152:2097152

Thanks for your understanding. It's hard to troubleshoot and resolve if one starts sidetracking with their SQ opinion. I won't be able to troubleshoot until mid-March, but just trying to gather where I can start researching or if it is just not possible with TCL.
