Do you have documentation on that?

You need the basic plugin WaveInput for Linux ( see
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 ) 

There are a number of discussion about using Pulse with WaveInput. A
search of the forum will find them but you could start looking at post
#35 onward in the above thread.

Thanks! I didn't know that plugin worked with Pulse Audio.

[slim] Driver to stream PC output to Squeezebox?

2009-06-30 Thread slimfast

Has anyone ever thought of implementing a 'virtual soundcard' on a PC
that would simply stream its output as PCM to a Squeezebox over the
network?

Could be quite useful and surely wouldn't be that hard to do?

You have not specified an OS.

Linux is straightforward using Pulse.

AFAICT there is no easy solution for OSX.

For Windows the WaveInput plugin uses the real soundcard and  copies
output to SC .

To have a virtual soundcard  - use Virtual Audio Cable ( VAC
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.html ) in conjunction with
WaveInput.

On Windows, it is not a simple task to implement a virtual soundcard in
Windows as there a lot of kernel buffering issues that need to be
handled otherwise there would be a number of free VAC apps around.

Thanks - I meant Windows XP.  That's good info.
