There is a distribution for running a Squeezebox server : http://squeezeplug.de/ http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlug But there's still no ambisonics decoder for the squeezebox, as Etienne Deleflie suggested a while ago: http://etiennedeleflie.net/2008/01/09/squeezebox-and-ambisonics/ Another solution would be to use the Music Player Daemon (or MPD), which can also be controlled from an iPhone, but again there no ambisonics support for MPD. -- Marc > On 01/05/2011 01:44, Stefan Schreiber wrote: > > Gerard Lardner wrote: > > > >> Perhaps something on the lines of a PlugComputer running Plug > >> Ubuntu, a USB sound card, Linux software packaged for simple use > >> and having a web control interface, and an iPhone app to control > >> it all?
