God I hate this alsa sh*te and pulse cr*p. Every time I touch it I lament the day I chose linux over bsd. Anyways. I was able to get a Localplayer running on my 32-bit test machine. I synced the Squeezelite player with one SB3, and shot the startup delay up to see what happens : on my system Squeezelite waited with the SB3 if the delay was under 10006. 10.006ms and above, Squeezelite started alone. So I synced the SB3 with my AE airplay player (on the same LMS server). Same behavior: synced started ok if delay not too high. I would like to write 10005 here, but it's more mysterious than that: if the delay is not too high, most of the time it will be observed. If really high (20secs) then it is never observed by the software player. And then a weird thing happened I noticed Squeezelite player (from Local Player plugin), who was still in the sync group and outputting to earphones in another room was starting without waiting at all anymore. I stopped using Local Player and created a 3 device sync group with an SB3, my AE and my Libratone Loop. The behaviour of the airplay players in the sync group wrt. start is erratic. Sometimes they respect the delay, sometimes 1 starts alone, sometimes both start early. The SB3 always stays put until the delay has expired. If I power down 1 of the 2 airplay devices, the sync group behaves again. If I power down the SB3 in the group, one airplay device waits and the other starts early. I returned to my own 1000ms setting, and I think I can report all airplay players and SB3 start in sync. That's unclear and possibly inconsistent with my previous report, sorry. But for me the startup behaviour of squeezelite in a sync group is erratic indeed. 4 SB 3 Libratone Loop mk.2 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105114
