I've had a search but can't find any topic referencing this particular
problem.

I have a linux server which is being used as a jukebox machine. It's
running the latest SqueezeCenter and is playing out of the local
soundcard via squeezeslave at the moment.

All control is via SqueezeCenter web interface.

As I'm sure you all know squeezeslave has a massive flaw in that it can
only handle 44kHz sample rate. While most of the music should be at
44kHz, there's some stuff kicking about which is either higher or lower,
resulting in slower or faster playback than normal.

I decided a solution would be SoftSqueeze in headless mode (java
-Dslimserver=127.0.0.1 -Dskins=headless -jar SoftSqueeze.jar). It'll
handle different sample rates fine. I have a problem with it though,
it'll work initially and start playing a song but after that
SqueezeCenter loses all control of it and you cannot change the volume,
skip or even stop songs. Terminating the SoftSqueeze process is the only
way.

I cannot for the life of me get it to work properly! Does anyone have
any idea what could be the cause of the problem? Is there any additional
configuration steps I should be taking for SoftSqueeze or
SqueezeCenter?

Maybe there's something better out there for headless local playback I
don't know about...

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks :)
