I really like your idea of incorporating an audio driver to redirect the sound output to the SB. Currently there is as product that just does this alone, the Linksys Wireless Music Bridge. I have one, and rarely use it anymore. But to redirect higher quality Yahoo Music(aka MusicMatch), which I subscribe, I need to still use this. If the SB had a similar driver to redirect the soundcard output -- I could consolidate this last piece. Yahoo Music is built around protected WMA -- so it doesnt work natively with the SB/slimserver. Obviously this would have many other potential uses, to get around protected streams such as Dolby AAC with AOL music for instance. -- jt25741 SB3->AR Masters Coax -> PS Audio DLIII -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio P5 -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio W5 -> Cardas Golden Reference Hi-Mid,PS Audio Xstream Plus Low-> Magnepan 3.6R ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
