There is a wav input plugin you could explore , it can potentially take any audio going on on the machine hosting LMS andf put it out to the players .
Yes the server must do it ,afaik but that mkaes it avaible to all the players . You will see some controll delay in any case . If you play a local file to a squeezebox it actually has >30 second built in buffer ,but the controll comands can bypass that and flush it or paus the playback instantly .Its going to be a bit different when streaming an external source and your are controlling that source . However if you minimise lag on the server and possibly transcode it to wav on the server then the player buffer would only hold about 30 seconds . With low rate mp3 a very large partion of the current track could already be in the player buffer . And you really want the player buffer it makes for resilience in bad wifi conditions and makes gapless work and crossfades (if you like them ) I dont know the specifics on the wavin plugin ,sorry . But i think wavin could be set as favorite . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
