waveinput takes a physical analog input connection on a sound card as a
continuous feed into squeezebox server, and streams it to squeezeboxes
you already have a digial stream in your server card, so would be
outputting it via a line output of your sound card then recapturing it
and redigitizing
There are all sorts of AV sender & receiver devices on the market that
use RF

OK you don't want video but a couple of these will still do exactly
You don't even need Airplay. Start by choosing the OS of the machine on
the sending end (near that multizone amp), and look for ways to stream
live audio from that platform.
The available methods will restrict (more or less) your choice of
hardware for the endpoints.
The possibilities are
And even more typical, when it rains, it pours:

Man... That is so dumb finding stuff like that the day after a buy!
Typical... I think I just found a better solution, the day after byuing
a used Sqeezebox! I was tipped about Airport Express as a receiver and
TuneBlade as an AirPlay sender. I am familiar with TuneBlade, I just
didn't know about the Airport Express (being a certified iHater...). Can

Because a home automation colleague here in Norway who's been using
these boxes for years and years thought it would be the easiest and most
cost effective way of doing it. ;) I asked in a home automation forum
here, and I have asked in several other audio forums before, and nobody
has ever been
But why squeezeboxes ? If your not interested in LMS and it features ?
Sure you can have some other endpiont running on an rpi3 , all Hat dacs
out there are not expensive and you get new stuff not >10 year old
hardware .
Actually wifi has a range that's 10 times that of BT, at least regular
consumer units, so there's no reason wifi shouldn't work (which I've
already said it does - I never said that wifi was blocked!) in the room
even if I can't get BT to work reliably. Long speaker cables is, as I
said, my
You have two issues.
Your original question was about multiple instances and I think
waveinput will still work but it will depend on the sources allowing the
command to get the audio (e.g. aplay). Windows source may be different.
Your second problem was how to get a radio signal through 3
I guess my question is to unusual to have any definitive answers. I have
bought a used V3 which should arrive either Friday or after the weekend,
so I'll go from there, with a test setup.
Mastiff's Profile:
Does this system partially exisst now ? or is this part of a design
exercise ?
Do you understand how a Squeezebox actually works and its relationship
to LMS?
Do you have a LMS ? Are you trying to use Squeezbox player without an
LMS ?
What are your Squeezebox player e.g. Sb3, SB Classic, RPi3 ??
I don't really understand the "problem". WaveInput is a last resort and
usually not a good solution. If you have 3 different soruces then I
suspect you can run 3 different instances of Waveinput but problem may
lie with the OS, audio subsystem etc of the source- not LMS or wavinput.
