Is it possible to do something equivalent (I tried this, it bombs) to the following:
java -jar -Daudio.mixer='/dev/null' SoftSqueeze.jar I am running multiple SoftSqueeze instances on a server, and displaying back to lower-power machines that run slimp3slave locally to handle the audio. This setup works great for the first client machine, on the second client it plays one song and then stops b/c it can not open the soundcard on the server (which has nothing hooked to it). Essentially I would want to use it as a remote control only, and not have it play audio at all. Failing that I guess I would have to add one card per client on the server, or look into esd/nsd so it thinks it is talking to a card.
