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 ...

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.

Merry X-Mas :-)
