I have tried several usb audio devices. Cheap external USB dacs. Expensive professional or hifi ones.
All of them can be seen as external usb audio sound card. They are usually automatically recognised by Windows 7, or come with their "drivers", what could be seen as the "client". Usually they do not provide server software whatsoever. All of them can be used with VLC, foobar, Jriver, whatever audio software you want, running a server or not. That is the job of a hardware device company selling a usb audio device. They of course sometime provide their own softwares, but none is mandatory to take advantage of the hardware device. I am convinced that it is what is going to happen with network (wired or not) devices instead of usb. It is straightforward and desirable behavior. If Logitech doesn't do it, another company will. I don't believe in a hardware product of this kind, requiring its own proprietary server. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90063 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
