Hi, If two instances of squeezeslave running on the same machine are progressively getting out of sync, it means the two output devices are not synchronized together at the hardware level, meaning they each have their own crystal that oscillate at a slightly different rate. There is nothing squeezeslave can do about it. If this is the problem, then you should notice that it's always the same output port that gets ahead of the other (assuming the two crystals are consistent in their bias)
You are sure you are not getting dropouts, are you? Also: what is the relation between these two devices? Same card, different ports? Two different cards? Can you try with other output ports (assuming you have more than to stereo output pairs)? May I also ask why you are running two instances of squeezeslave on the same machine? I guess you want to feed 2 different rooms with the same signal, but isn't there another way to route the signal to avoid running two instances of squeezeslave? For example, on my setup, I have two digital output ports: one optical and one coaxial. Because they use the same clock and the same audio source, they are guaranteed to be synchronized so I could feed two separate DACs and they'd be in sync (assuming you always want the same content in both rooms of course). Advanced sound cards sometimes let you control synchronization sources so multiple output ports are synced together, but you'd have to say more about your setup, and you may have a hard time configuring this aspect of the card on Linux. Hope this helps you understand/analyze the problem. I'm doing some maintenance in squeezeslave these days, so if you can help finding problems in there be welcome to report them here. Also don't forget to look at version 0.7.3, announced in the "squeezeslave enhancements" thread, in the developers forum.
