I've created a second instance of Squeezelite using User commands on the
Tweaks page, with the aim of adding a Bluetooth speaker without having
to add another RPi.  I managed to make both my main USB DAC and the
Bluetooth speaker work eventually by copying the main USB DAC command
line into the User command field, and specifying a unique MAC address
for it, then configuring the Bluetooth speaker on the Squeezelite page. 
This seems to work well.  Synchronisation isn't great due to Bluetooth
delays, but I'm really only interested in running the Bluetooth speaker
as a stand-alone device.

I'd prefer to have them the other way round, i.e. the USB DAC in the
Squeezelite page, and the Bluetooth speaker as a User command, because
1) the Bluetooth speaker is an occasional use device, and 2) if it's not
present when pCP starts then the pCP interface tells me Squeezelite
isn't running.  But if I swap them over so that the BT speaker is
specified as a User command, then I don't believe there's a way to
access the BT scanning/connecting options - these seem only to be
available from the 'Card Control' option in the 'Audio output device
settings'.  Is that correct?  Is there a way around this?
