OK - that's positive.
It seems that since mplayer can output to an Alsa device and audio is
heard, it would seem likely that squeezelite should be able to do the
same.
The known issues are
1. the asound library is not on the path - this could be a build issue
if th path is non standard and so continue with present solution and
hope it is OK.
2. when a suitable device is chosen - no audio is output. The reason
for this is not clear.
3. there is a no amixer or alsamixer command so no easy access to ALSA
devices, their settings or controls
4. Unclear what the mplayer command option "-unique USB" does - it
seems to be important.
Since mplayer works, I think, it is worthwhile trying to spend time
getting it to output more diagnostic. This means you have to learn more
as waiting for me to suggest a command and then executing it a few days
later will mean this process will take until Christmas.
Starting point - linux application normally have "help" options - which
will tell what option can be given or are supported. Please try the
following (or any other variations you can think of or see suggested on
Internet)
Code:
--------------------
mplayer -?
mplayer -h
mplayer -help
mplayer -msglevel help
mplayer -ao help
mplayer -unique help
man mplayer
--------------------
The mplayer confguration files which could incldue the default settings
when using Alsa devices may be somewhere on your system. One of these
files the "input.conf" is what is being checked in the messages
Code:
--------------------
Cannot open file '/root/.mplayer/input.conf': No such file or directory
Failed to open /root/.mplayer/input.conf.
Cannot open file '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/input.conf': No such file or
directory
Failed to open /usr/local/etc/mplayer/input.conf.
--------------------
Can you check for mplayer "conf" files on your system especially just
"config" and "mplayer.conf" in the directories checked above (i.e.
/root/.mplayer , /usr/local/etc/mplayer ) - note directories with
leading dot are hidden. If find the files examine and attach or post
contents.
