Sorry for the dumb question, but the audio source is only available in
analogue format ? Other than that, would creating a source stream using
(eg) vlc work ? that source stream could then be a radio feed fed back
for LMS - if you are not sensitive to delay, that would probably work, I
think



LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1,
PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne
(sort of)
