Ralphy, Some more info:

Squeezebox server quite happily streams to the second squeezeslave, but no audio is heard. Killing the first invocation makes no difference - audio is still not heard from the second invocation. This matches with the behaviour I'm seeing with Myth - nothing complains, but the second application to be invoked is unable play audio. Explicitly using the HDMI, hw:0,3 device (ALSA default!) results in different behaviour (similar to what you see with your USB headset): $ ./squeezeslave -o3 & $ ./squeezeslave -m00:00:00:00:00:02 -o3 & $ PortAudio error7: No output devices found. If you want me to try anything else, just let me know.
