You say it's multi-source, but it sounds like a Squeezebox-only setup, right? If so, then your Audiosource plan sounds fine. Most of us would recommend that you put each Receiver and amp in the same room as the speakers -- long digital ethernet runs, short speaker cables. If you want the ability to play multiple sources, then you could look at a multizone receiver (Aesculus has a plugin for more expensive ethernet-equipped Denon amps; I have an alpha-quality one for cheaper RS232-equipped Denon amps; both allow Controllers to set the amp volume, turn the amp off, etc.), or having a receiver/preamp feed an audio input on your SqueezeCenter host so you could stream miscellaneous audio sources as 320k MP3.
AllQuiet won't help you if all you have are Duets/Receivers, as it currently is only usable with IR-equipped players (Classic, Boom, Transporter). If all your players are synced, then the Pause button is good enough. :-) Otherwise I could write a Controller/SqueezePlay interface for AllQuiet and you'd have to do something like Home > scroll to All Quiet > press center button. Would that be worthwhile for you? Another option that I could work up pretty easily would be letting you customize what happens when you press the button on the front of a Receiver, so pressing the button on any Squeezebox Receiver would silence all the Squeezeboxes. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66737 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
