New or old, this input_cache feature isn't interesting enough to me to get into another kerfuffle with MaxK over it.
Features tend to lurk around until they’re finished, since it’s not in the current stable build it’d be new for .22 when it’s released.
As-is I agree it’s not all that interesting though playing the entire song from memory is something audio nerds want as it idles another thread (the goal being to have as little additional work being done as possible while playback is happening, whether or not it actually results in a measurable difference, well...). In that capacity 128-256MB is probably fine.
Loading the entire track before playback would prob hurt responsiveness too much unless you had fast locally attached storage and even then very large files would probably feel gross.
The error kitcat saw was likely due to modifying playerlib.php to include the input_cache directive and switching back to the regular mpd which doesn’t support it.
