Ralphy, Thanks for the reply. As Gabe (on cc) describes, if I start squeezeslave (using my default (HDMI) ALSA output device) before MythTV, I get sound from squeezeslave and nothing from Myth. If I reverse the start-up order, I get sound from Myth and nothing from squeezeslave. If Myth is running prior to squeezeslave start-up, I don't see squeezeslave complaining it can't open the device. I would need to look at the Myth logs to see if Myth complains if squeezeslave is already running > I just tried running two squeezeslaves on the default ALSA device and > both streams played at the same time. I'll try this case when I get home and let you know the results. > I should be able to look into this next week. Great - if you need anything further from, don't hesitate to get in touch.
