is dropping packets. This can happen if the buffer gets overflowed or
underflowed due to streaming of a badly formatted file or due to PC
resource limitations

Wrap Button When pressed, the file will be looping over and over. If not selected the
file will only play once and the player will stop

button was pressed

and a graph showing the fullness of the buffer. If the buffer line goes
down to zero, the buffer is empty and the playout will stop.

Hardware
buffer
Display This displays the size of the hardware device memory buffer used for the
playout and a graph showing the fullness of the buffer. If the buffer line
goes down to zero, the buffer is empty and the playout will stop

** The playout is never stopped. When the stop button is used, the hardware will stream out null
packets at the playout rate. This can be seen as the output buffer doesn’t go to zero.
