Hello, has there been any recent progress on this?

I have installed the 3rd Party Squeezebox WaveInput Plugin on OpenSuSE
11.3 (Linux). It can be successfully started. However, PC sound still
comes to the PC speakers, not to the Plugin.

The Squeezebox player sees the plugin on the Squeezebox Server. But the
system (aplay, lspci, dmesg) does not see the plugin. Like this other
user, I have tried a host of tricks to try to redirect the sound or get
the device recognized without success...

In particular, I need to know how to configure ~/.asoundrc or
/etc/asound.conf

Details below, thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

I do have ALSA installed and it works well both with alsamixergui and
kmixer. But neither of these offer any options to redirect the output
from the speakers to somewhere else.

aplay -l gives a list of devices:
        P1630:~ # aplay -l
        **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
        card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
          Subdevices: 0/1
          Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This does not include the WaveInput plugin, so even though the plugin
is loaded and present and appears in Squeezebox Server, it seems not to
be being recognized by ALSA or the system at large.

lspci | grep -i audio returns

        P1630:~ # lspci | grep -i audio
        00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)

again suggesting that the plugin is not being seen.

dmesg returns

        P1630:~ # dmesg |grep HDA
        [    9.654641] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level,
low) -> IRQ 22
        [    9.654736] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 29 for MSI/MSI-X
        [    9.654782] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
        [    9.895464] input: HDA Digital PCBeep as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input11

Yet again, no recognition of the plugin.

If I start a tune playing (through the speakers) and then start the SBS
plugin the only change is that the Squeezebox itself shows the input as
wavin:n where n is the device number I have entered in the Squeezebox
Server settings. I have tried both n=0 and n=1 without success.

I do not have either ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf. I need to know
how to construct these:

/usr/share/doc/packages/alsa/alsa-lib/asoundrc.txt offers a sample but
none of the values are filled in.

I don't understand the difference between the two and why you might
have one or the other or both.

Cheers, Andy
