THANKS! This pointed me toward exactly what I needed. My soundcard (CM8738) provides surround-sound; it also has 2 separately-addressable DAC's, so I can have 2 separate 2-channel outputs. I now have 2 instances of squeezeslave, perfectly synced (or not, depending on who's listening where). Hope you re-appear well-rested! Terry -- OldeSchule No school like the old school...
