I've created an OSX i386 and x86_64 only build with the ability to select the output device and set the maximum sample rate.
It is based on the 7.8 branch Jul 17, 2012 git check in which I've exported back to subversion as I really dislike git. The 'OSX intel port' (http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/SqueezePlay-7.8.0r142.dmg) has been tested with 10.6 and 10.7. Mountain Lion has not been tested as I don't have a Mac running it. This version plays 24/96 wave and flac files natively using the latest LMS 7.8.0 nightly. The maximum sample rate can be set as high as 192000 in the USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE key, see below, but I haven't tested it, any value higher defaults to 192000. Installation? Mount the SqueezePlay-7.8.0r142.dmg disk image file and drag the SqueezePlay.app icon to Applications. How do I change the output device and/or maximum sample rate? Create a file called environment.plist in your home directory in the .MacOSX folder. You may need to create the .MacOSX folder. So the full path to my file is /Users/ralphy/.MacOSX/environment.plist Code: -------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>USEPADEVICE</key> <string>Sennheiser USB Headset</string> <key>USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE</key> <string>96000</string> </dict> </plist> -------------------- To obtain the list of available output devices that can be used for the USEPADEVICE key you can download 'squeezeslave for OSX' (http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2-376-osx.tar.gz), extract the tar file and run squeezeslave with the -L option. Code: -------------------- $ ./squeezeslave-1.2-376 -L Output devices: * 1: (Core Audio) Built-in Output (2/12) 2: (Core Audio) Sennheiser USB Headset (2/13) -------------------- You can see how I obtained the exact match for my Headset. Once you've finished editing the environment.plist file you MUST logout and log back in before the keys will be available to SqueezePlay. You can check if the values have been set from the Terminal App. Code: -------------------- $ set | grep -i usepa USEPADEVICE='Sennheiser USB Headset' USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE=96000 -------------------- Hopefully this works for the Mountain Lion folks to override the new AirPlay default output devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
