I did a simple experiment this evening which actually worked :-)))) I did put a "tee" command in between the pipeline in customconvert.conf , so sound will still be piped to the squeezebox (if you don't do so it will skip all tracks of a cd and stops playing). But instead of letting tee write to a file I had it write to a named pipe (aka fifo).
Then I had a play play the sound from that named pipe. Ok so why do I want all this? Well it does give one the possibility of using the squeezebox to control what you wanna listen to but instead have the sound get out of your soundcard. The reason I want this is is because I find the digital out of the SB3 quite bad (when connecting a high-end cd player its sounds way better). Another reason to want this is to get rid of the delays between tracks, because brutefir can now keep running instead of restarting between tracks. Ok so please don't flame me about the impossibility of my "sounds better" statement, this is about letting you know a way to accomplish the sound of the songs that the SB3 is playing to come out of a soundcard. Ok now the bad news. This whole process works but not for long :P Especially when the fifo is filled but not used at the other end, the whole process get stuck :P -- tingtong5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tingtong5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9671 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40526 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
