I managed to create a squeezeos/poky build VM, something I've been
wanting to do for a long time, for another project I had in mind. Turns
out it was a lot easier than I thought.
I've applied your patch and rebuilt jive_alsa for the radio and have
been using it for the last two days without issue. Yesterday, I played
a flac stream for nearly 9 hours before I needed to use the Radio for
it's real purpose. I've never had the Bass amp problem on my Radio but
it's a UE Radio and there have been several hardware revisions of the
Radio, so perhaps not all are affected. We really don't know if the
change will help but at least we can try to track it down. Perhaps
updating jive_alsa to close the device after being idle for a time, like
the -C option in squeezelite may be enough to avoid the problem.
I created a Patch Installer package for the updated jive_alsa program,
but the file is locked while squeezeplay is running and there's no way
that I've found to run scripts as part of the patch. If you kill the
jive_alsa process the watchdog timer kicks in reboots the Radio, so it
will need to be an applet install like edo which I will do if we manage
to track down the Bass amp issue.
So for now, you'll have to ssh into the Radio and download, install the
update manually. Ideally, you shouldn't be playing anything on the
Radio while doing the update. The reboot at the end restarts the radio
immediately so you'll loose your connection.
Code:
--------------------
ssh -l root radio
cd /usr
wget
http://ralph-irving.users.sourceforge.net/extensions/RadioJiveAlsa-1.0.tgz
# backup the original, don't use copy as the file is in use.
mv bin/jive_alsa bin/jive_alsa.bak
tar xzf RadioJiveAlsa-1.0.tgz
rm RadioJiveAlsa-1.0.tgz
reboot
--------------------
Now that I can rebuild bits or the entire firmware, minus the private
logitech parts I'm also able to run squeezelite on the radio...but
that's off topic.
