Thanks Paul, thanks bpa too. Yes, I know about http streamer. No, the
device is not shown after activating the Streamer for Audio Input on
tweaks page.

Wavinput uses standard ALSA devices. Not sure about pcp specifics but
the input devices show up with "arecord -l" (option is lowercase letter
L not digit 1).
By default
We use a http streamer option in pCP. As long as the card shows up as
a Alsa recording device, you can use it.

For some reason when a single device is playing Waveinput and a 2nd is
being synced to it - LMS does not kill off the first instance of
"arecord" and the sync seems to fail and stops playing but the
underlying "arecord" process is still "active" and "using" the alsa
device - preventing any new
When syncing with a playing already playing arecord - it requires first
arecord to stop and then a new second arecord to start. I think the
sync problem is due to the first arecord not stopped before the second
arecord is started and so there is a clash over same input device. I
think this

I just tested wavinput syncing a receiver and Radio and it worked OK so
it is not a plugin or LMS restriction. The problem is local - to

Well, this is confusing.
The problem with the stream no longer playing, having played previously
but after an attempt to sync a Radio to the pCP, was fixed by changing
the source in favourites back to wavin:hw:CARD=Device.
I couldn't get it to work at all before, with exactly this definition -
An alternative approach which doesnt require LMS on the Pi (or the
wavin input plugin) is to use a Pi with a Liquidsoap script & Icecast

I built one which takes any std output from an amp passed it through a
Behringer UCA202 into the Pi and then streams it as FLAC which LMS can
play.

I appear to have found the problem:
In alsamixer, I noticed that on the Playback sliders screen for the USB
Sound Device, the PCM Capture Source was set for Mic. I toggled this to
Line. (Seems a bit counter-intuitive to find that setting, for PCM
Capture, here).
So now I need to ensure this

Levels look OK - nothing is zero except spdif.
Running out of ideas.
Check owner of the ALSA devices in /dev/snd - if the group is "audio"
make sure the userid you are using is a memeber of the audio group- this

OK - that means samples were captured - corrected WAV file header was
not written as ^C interrupted output.
Check "Line-in" lelvel using alsamixer- it's possible capture level on
card 2 is set to zero.

That's is the max length of a WAV file - basically no samples captured.
What is the actual file length in bytes - if zero then device is not

I can't remember exact detail but the difference between using something
like sysdefault:CARD= CODEC and hw:CARD=CODEC can be telling ALSA to do
resampling etc as required - whatever is necessary to match requested
format and the formats provided by the raw device. The "hw:" prevents

Arecord works in PCM - so file output is either raw or wav and not flac.
Also not using stdout means "-v" can be used,
