I just got this working nicely on my Raspberry Pi 4. It means I can cast to a Chromecast Audio, which is plugged into the Pi server, and it can appear by magic on any Squeezebox. Cool!
To help others that may be as clueless as I was about this kind of thing: 1 - get a compatible USB sound card. Mine cost a few quid (under three!), uses the bcm2835 chipset as it's fully plug and play. 2 - check in Alsa what everything is called. Useful commands: arecord -l (that's a small L) lists capture devices. Mine was card 1, device 0 arecord -D plughw:1 --duration=10 -f cd -vv ~/rectest.wav (run from your home directory) records 10s of audio, usefully showing a recording level meter even when you're in the terminal remotely. The plughw:1 needs to match the card number from arecord 3 - while faffing I added the SB user to the audio group. I don't know if this is necessary or not. sudo usermod -a -G audio squeezeboxserver 4 - the favourite that you need to set up is simply wavin:plughw:1, where again it matches that card number. Took me under an hour to install SBS on a Pi 4 and get this working, which I'm quite pleased about. I never got the WaveInput working on Windows, although I'd decided to move back to the Pi as Windows 10 is just awful for servers.
