Fair enough, however ameter is an ALSA plugin (like hw, plug, asym) and not a GUI. You can write ncurses or GUI clients to monitor the VU levels if you wish. In my case, I wanted to provide a digital signal through GPIO and convert it to analog with a cheap DAC to drive mechanical analog VU meters. That being said, it bothered me that the Pi already had a "cheap" DAC onboard that somehow could be tapped into. I tried using the dmix ALSA plugin to simultaneously output to two sound cards but being that I'm using a I2S DAC, the driver apparently doesn't support dmix. Then it dawned on me... LMS supports syncing! Running two squeezelites on the same Pi and syncing them on LMS did the trick! :D Here's my rough setup that I did manually. Now I have to figure a way to do this in a more graceful manner. /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/squeezelite-armv6hf -n "piCorePlayer2onboard" -o hw:CARD=ALSA -a 80:4:: -r 48000 -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:F6 & /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/squeezelite-armv6hf -n "piCorePlayer2dac" -o hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry -a 80:4:: -r 48000 -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:F7 & Let me know your thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ retrohunter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
