I've look at shairport and built and tested it on Ubuntu it does produce a PCM stream which is sent to default audio device. On my system the audio has lots of clicks and "underrun" messages so I think it needs refinement before it is ready for general use.
Since hairtunes plays to default audio using libao - Waveinput should work as it stands as with the right settings. As I see it, as Airplay plugin has a modded hairtunes which sends a PCM stream direct into SBS (e.g. remove libao and stream the PCM as a WAV to stdout) but it may be hard to achieve as the hairtunes will only produce a audio stream when connected to a iPod player - and SBS would have to pick up the PCM stream only when a new instance of hairtunes has started. If hairtunes is not started then SBS would play silence first and then connected to hairtunes and if hairtunes is already running SBS has to find and pick up the PCM stream with the added complication that some user may want an Airplay stream per SB player. I'll do a bit of thinking on this bit. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86972 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
