Triode. I made it also work on the Touch. I do think squeezelite performs extremely well on the Touch. For sure better then squeezslave. Though I really had to reshuffle my setup. I couldn't make much use of my Toolbox settings. I ran into xruns and other weired behaviour at every corner. So,

One more: I saw your comment in the code that SCHED_FIFO priorities are likely to be changed by root only. That's correct if below settings are not done: Something like below must be added to /etc/security/limits.conf squeezeboxserver - rtprio 99 squeezeboxse
