Have a look at this page of a Sondigo Sirocco review -> http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2006/10/31/sondigo_sirocco_review/page4.html It explains the buffer delay problems that would make the sound out of sync with the video. -- Wirrunna Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well, I love my SB3 too, however the only _wireless sound card_ I know of is this http://www.sondigo.com/sirocco/overview Apparently, it will play any audio the PC can play including DRM. -- cashman cashman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2585 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This is off topic from the OP but to play a single file you can use "Tune-in" with the file:// prefix to the file name. SS will add to the database and play it. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: To use squeezebox as a virtual sound device?
I rip or download a file... simplest thing would be send the .cue file or file itself to slimserver -> tranporter and play it. Now: move to 1TB music folder... rescan the entire folder... go to slimserver and serch the one you have just added... All in all a long workaround. I think we should be able to play it right from the Windows folder. *Folder -> Slimserver (no rescan) -> transporter (or squeezebox)* -- Manelus Manelus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

frui;152601 Wrote: > Basically squeezebox IS a wireless soundcard. To expand on what funkstar wrote, it's not. It actually reconstructs the audio data from packets. The audio is broken up into packets and reassembled by the Squeezebox. This allows some nice things to happen, like buffering and error correction, so you get bit-perfect playback because it's equivalent to sending a computer file over wireless.

frui;152601 Wrote: > Basically squeezebox IS a wireless soundcard. But it's not. It is a stand alone music player that recieves the audio data from a dedcated server. Think of it like this: you can get netwrok DVD players that can play video files saved on a network, this does not make it a PC monitor. The Squeezebox is the same, it plays music hosted on a server (or streamed over the internet) but that does not make it a sound card. Technically, it should be possible to write drivers for it that would let you use it as an external sound card, but that hasn't been a priority for SD so far. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: To use squeezebox as a virtual sound device?
Not as easy as you think. The question comes up quite a lot - search the forum for Shoutcast, which is the usual solution for this requirement. Note that using it to get the sound for a DVD you are watching will probably not work due to buffering/delay issues.
