Both softsqueeze and squeezeslave work.
What do you mean Softsqueeze didn't work ?
Didn't start ?
No audio ?
Crashed ?
Given you have had problem with 3 softplayers - I think the issue might
be something in your system config.

There seems to be a problem with recent builds of Squeezeplay.
I'm not sure who created the Softsqueeze rpm but it looks the issue is
with the install not Softsqueeze.
Do you want Softsqueeze on the same system as your server ?
If so, try using installing as a Plugin ?

Not sure what is wrong with the RPM or alien but Softsqueeze doesn't
really need to be installed into /opt.
Try the following.
Code:
rpm2cpio softsqueeze_linux_3_9b2.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
java -jar ./opt/softsqueeze/SoftSqueeze.jar
Hi bpa !
Thanks for your help.
I've just installed Softsqueeze as a plug-in and restarted the server.
It appears under the extra menu.
The problem is that it plays certian files with increasing speed, so
they sounds very high-pitched
Any insights why it happens ?

To get help for problem please always give more info with the request.
Softsqueeze is a soft player with only a few inbuilt decoders so it
relies on other app for decoding. So problems can be format specific
so describe issue in more detail ?
1. How much is the file playing too fast - compare
Hi bpa !
Thanks for your help. I've installed softsqueeze as a separate
application using your instructions and it installed and works OK (the
increaded speed issue remains though) . Regarding the files who plays
with increased speed, those a flacs (for now I don't see any common
denominator
Please please please give info.
What type of audio is in the flac - 44.1/16, 48/16, 96/24 etc ?

44.1/16 is v. standard and is played directly by jFlac and have no
problems.
Have your problem files been compressed by a non standard encoder ?
You can test by re-encoding the problem files with standard Flac at a
lower bit rate to see if problem goes away.
Highly compressed file take
Hi bpa !
Thanks again for great help. I'll check what you've recommended
tomorrow (it's nearly 2am here at West Coast) and I'll publish it on
this thread.
Bottom line : with few exceptions, it works !

The only diffrence is that in the file which plays with increased speed
has
low bit rate 305kbps VBR vs 580kbps VBR in the file which plays with
normal
I converted few files using ffmpeg
and the resulting files (in flac) turned out to be mono.
All those mono files are played with increased speed by softsqueeze
but they are played OK by SB3
