When you get the spinney you can cancel it by touching the screen... The idea at present is as soon as you power up the previously selected dac that the box will reboot and use it. It needs to reboot as the jive binary only selects an output device at startup. Anyway I was thinking of changing it slightly to provide better support for powering on and off the dac while touch is running (as used by one of the beta testers). I was assuming people would tend to have one dac, but would possibly want to power it on and off. So my plan was to remove the spinny and treat a non existent dac as actually present. This will mean more changes to jive_alsa which I think are viable but I've not tried yet. The limitation I have is being able to make changes to the jive_alsa binary but not jive itself. Longer term if Logitech become interested then we can think about changes to the jive binary to allow swapping output devices while running. But that's not an option at present if we want full feature support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
