I expect to have a HiFiBerry Digi card soon, so that we have support for
a pure digital audio system based on the raspberry as well.

I'm also very interested in this. 
For me the piCorePalyer and the HiFiBerry DAC is really great - the
sound quality is excellent. So now it only needs a nice and good looking
case.

I'm very impressed with the quality of the HiFiBerry DAC. Had a few
issues with getting to working - deviated from soldering the RCAs
directly to the board, and initially chose to solder the wrong terminal
on the L channel RCA! All sorted after a bit of thought and poking with
my multimeter...I also had issues with one of my WiFi USB sticks, but
the Edimax one works fine.

Any recommendations for an elegant Pi case that would accommodate the
HiFiBerry with RCAs soldered directly to the board?

Well, I'm using 1.12c, and haven't updated to 1.12d because I'm not
having problems, and the fixes/changes between 1.12c and 1.12d wouldn't
make a difference to my setup. Who knows what future versions might
bring to the table!

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply, sorry I should of been clearer, I ment do I have
to use the webgui or could I just use SSH. I've actually had squeezelite
working with multiple instances, for anyone interested you need to do as
below.


Code:

squeezelite -o [Audio Output - Must be unique and one instance per 
DAC/Card"] -m [mac address of your choice in format ab:cd:ef:12:34:56] -n [Name 
of squeezelite instance] -s [Server:Port] -z (Runs as daemon)



So one of mine looks like 


Code:

squeezelite -o FRONT:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 -m ab:cd:ef:12:34:11 -n BedroomTest -s 
192.168.1.4 -z

Wirrunna,

Type from the console

dmesg

this will give you the (kernel I think) logs from the restart/power up.

Hi Mark,
some clarifications: when you say "run" what do you mean? The webgui in
CSOS is for configuration, not for playing music. Are you planning on
having multiple squeezelite instances running on the same wandboard? If
that is the case then yes you will have to set that up through ssh, the
webgui just supports only one player instance per wandboard. It will
probably take some work to get multiple squeezelite instances running on
the same wandboard. 

All of the configuration tasks can be done by ssh into the wandboard and
editing files if that is your preference, but very little requires ssh
and changing files directly.

anotheruser, excellent post.

When I get home I will try the iwconfig command as my experience with
the WiPi RaLink dongle is similar to yours. 
What is the command to list the Rt chipset and Rf chipset ? 
Steen, in your excellent web page under WiFi Settings clicking the
"Submit" box will list iwconfig, I think displaying the iwconfig info at
the bottom of the page after the "Available WiFi networks" would be
useful. Also, could you display the info that anotheruser showed? - the
first 3 or 4 lines that detail the chipset in the dongle would
complement the iwconfig info.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)

2014-03-05 Thread TonioRoffo

Hello, I'd love to make a low-priority feature request.

Very happy Squeezelite user here, replacing all my HW squeezeboxes since
a long time :)

I'm using squeezelite to drive a USB DAC, which unfortunately makes some
noise on other parts of the audio chain when I'm bypassing the DAC. 
Turning off squeezelite releases the USB driver and clears up the
noise.

So I'd love to request a timer on the command line, so squeezelite
releases the ALSA device after a certain time of idling.

Thanks!

Yes, intended for the moment, "delete" commenting the entries rather

Yes, I think that would be wise. "defaults,nofail" for physical devices
and "defaults,_netdev" for remote shares. I'll add the "nofail" to the
default options.

Testing this and it seems to be working well in general, except for one
small possible problem, although it might be what you intend.  
When changing a partitions mount options and updating, extra fstab lines
get added and previous entries left but commented out, so that the file
