Thank you very much for your detailed posts. They made it possible to come to deliver a functional (sh)Airplay experience on my Squeezebox Touch! I was not aware of the convert.conf file, but after locating it (`locate convert.conf`) I was able to understand the format, along with your extra details. You were absolutely right that the non-functional crud was from various posts I had read that had various degrees of success. I guess they understood even less than me :-) I do have some additional questions at the end of this post, if you don't mind ... bpa wrote: > > <snip>original wavin conf file allows flexibility by passing the device > designation from the wavin: URL to the application (default arecord). I had just based most of what I did off a 'blog post' (http://confoundedtech.blogspot.no/2012/08/airplay-to-squeezebox-touch-via-linux.html) by atca ('here are his thread/posts on this forum' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?49584-Announce-WaveInput-for-Linux&p=713307&viewfull=1#post713307) that formed the basis of that). So any deviations from the original config is due to that. If I understand you and the configuration files right, the $FILES$ variable will be substituted for the part that comes after "wavein:" when creating a Favorite URL. For example if using "wavein:hw,2,0" as a URL, then $FILES$ would be set to "hw,2,0". Do I understand you correctly? A FINAL QUESTION CONCERNING DIFFERENT DESTINATION FORMATS: how does the Squeezebox choose between flac, mp3 and pcm? I configured WaveIn to only use pcm since I have the bandwidth, and I heard some noise when the two other destination formats were enabled, but would like to know how it selects the format when there are three possible options.
