There is a way to do what you ask, using the WaveInput V1.05 plugin of SqueezeCenter, which is maintained by bpa who is very helpful in these forums. This would involve setting up the Squeezebox Server software in addition to AlbumPlayer and setting a favorite that "tunes" to the soundcard output. You will also likely need either a physical (cable) loopback cable, or a (real or virtual) soundcard that can be configured to do loopback. As I say, it may not be very elegant, but you can probably make it work. People say there is about 5 seconds latency in the buffering with default settings. -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76038
