Your blog has been down with a database error for several days now.

I'd like to suggest a small change to custom-convert.conf so that the
wave input plugin is still usable for other audio input devices.

Instead of hard coding the named pipe path in the config file change it
to $FILE$ and then use the named pipe path in the airplay favourite in
SBS.  You need to remove the alsa, prefix and define it in as part of
the favourite for other audio devices.

Here an example from my custom convert.  Note it's for 7.3.4 as I no
longer have the original file from your site.

Code:
--------------------
    
  #
  # wavin 
  #
  wavin wav * * 
  # R
  [ecasound] -q -z:db -b:4096 -f:16,2,44100 -i $FILE$ -o stdout  
  wavin mp3 * *
  # RB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
  [ecasound] -q -z:db -b:4096 -f:16,2,44100 -i $FILE$ -o stdout  | [lame] 
--silent -r -x -q $QUALITY$ -b $BITRATE$ - -
  wavin flc * *
  # R 
  [ecasound] -q -z:db -b:4096 -f:16,2,44100 -i $FILE$ -o stdout  | [flac] -cs 
--totally-silent --endian=little --channels=2 --sign=signed --bps=16 
--sample-rate=44100 --compression-level-0 -
  
--------------------


To connect to airplay define the favourite like this, changing the
named pipe full path to match your setup.


Code:
--------------------
    wavin:/var/lib/squeezecenter/airplay-fifo.raw
--------------------


to use the wave input plugin with alsa devices use need to add the
alsa, prefix before the device.


Code:
--------------------
    wavin:alsa,hw0,0
--------------------
