First things first - Triode - amazing work - the combination of your
Spotify plugin and Squeezelite running on 3 x Raspberry Pis, has meant
that I can extend my Squeezebox use beyond my original 2 Squeezebox
Booms :)

So - everything is working great on the Pis, each with a bus-powered
PCM2704 USB DAC (I'm using Squeezelite 1.1 on piCoreplayer 1.0).

I'm wanting to tidy things up though and am thinking of getting some
SMSL SAD-25 T-amps with built in PCM2704.

This will clearly work, but I wasn't sure what the behaviour of
Squeezelite would be when turning those amps off (as I _assume_ the
PCM2704 isn't bus powered in that case, but powered by the T-amp PSU and
will therefore disconnect). I simulated this by disconnecting one of my
USB DACs with Squeezelite running and the result was an instant increase
in CPU utilisation to ~100% - reconnecting the DAC didn't result in a
drop of CPU or the ability to get audio out of Squeezelite (but
restarting squeezelite did).

So - this may be entirely the expected behaviour - I'm just wondering
whether that is the case and whether anybody has a good way of setting
this up so that power off/on of a USB DAC can be handled successfully?

(I'm using the ALSA hw: device by the way).

Thanks,
Graham
