Good news. As a consequence of your troubles, I decided to dig into the squeezelite source code, and seeing it uses PortAudio, then I dug into that. As a test I have incorporated direct Port Audio calls to retrieve the device list rather than call squeezelite -l under the covers and taking its output. It's a little faster. What squeezelite does is retrieve all devices (input and output) and then outputs the ones where DeviceInfo.MaxOutputChannels > 0, thereby only retrieving output devices. Squeezelite retrieves DeviceInfo.Name and DeviceInfo.HostApi, so you see "name [HostApi]". Perhaps, though, the TotalRecorder "device", depending on which one of the three you were using, is doing something wrong. The user-mode driver seems to be described as having compatibility issues. You could try the TotalRecorder "kernel-mode" driver instead, or something. Thanks, I hope you enjoy the app. R Greg Dawson Squeezelite-X ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgdawson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
