The only question is can Windows cope with two soundcards or is squeezeslave's device-id option only really useful for linux or mac users? They are indeed useful for Windows. I run two squeezeslave copies on my XP system. One for the MB based sound card (Realtek) for speakers and another for my logitech USB headset dongle. I like the USB sound adapter as I don't have to listen to the computer interference in the headphones. Note that some of the command line options have changed in the newer version of squeezeslave. SS no longer prints the devices by default and the --signal/-s option is always used and no longer needs to be specified. The device list includes input devices which are useless at this point, I just ignore them. I've been testing the latest windows version for the last month and will shortly be releasing the new version on sourceforge.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Multiple SqueezeSlaves?
Excellent news! I'm off to get a cheapo soundcard... The reason I asked (if anyone cares) is that in the office I've got the server running SC Squeezeslave outputting to an FM transmitter so that I can listen to my collection on an FM radio when I'm in the kitchen/bath/garden. Until now, I've been using my laptop to listen in the office. Now I can free the laptop and just have a pair of speakers plugged into a second soundcard on the server and use my SBC. Much better WAF than having to boot the laptop. -- indifference_engine indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58203 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Multiple SqueezeSlaves?
I think so, the available options are shown if you run: squeezeslave -help In my installation this shows the following option: Code: -o, --output device_id: Sets the output device id. The default id is 0. The output device ids are enumerated at startup. I think you also want to make sure they use different mac addresses, so you probably also need to use this: Code: -m, --mac mac_address:Sets the mac address for this instance. Use the colon-separated notation. The default is 00:00:00:00:01. SqueezeCenter uses this value to distinguish multiple instances, allowing per-player settings -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58203 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
