forgive me for being thick, but how does one take the massive SS pgm and
make it into a vxd? i thought someone would have to write a vxd based
on portions of the SS source code, to make a far smaller file.
You would write a vxd that communicated directly with the squeezebox
using the (documented) slimproto.
i thought the SB was capable of playing uncompressed audio?
why would everything need converted to 320 mp3?
Or FLAC. You certainly wouldn't want to stream uncompressed WAV to the
squeezebox, it would trash your network.
in my case, i have 256 mp3s, i would simply want them played straight,
no conversions except in the DAC.
That's not how a windows sound driver works. Windows sound drivers take
uncompressed audio data and push them out to a speaker. The mp3 would
already be uncompressed by some client app, like WMP.
but i would also want to be able to play a DVD uncompressed or altered
in any way by the SB. is this totally ignorant of how it actually
works?
As above, you'd probably need your vxd to recompress the audio (either
MP3 or FLAC) just for bandwidth reasons before streaming to the SB. So
your data would be uncompressed by the player and then recompressed by
the driver.
