I have the normal usage mode of Voyage MPD working fine:
music server -> nfs ->{lan network}-> voyage/alix -> usb dac ->
preamp/speakers
But frequently I'm doing something on my desktop like playing a youtube
video with Firefox and I think "it would be really nice to direct this
audio to the nice speakers the alix uses" (instead of using my lower
quality desktop speakers)
that is:
desktop/firefox -> {lan network}-> alix/voyage -> usb dac -> speakers
Usually with Fedora, which I'm using, you'd do that with Pulseaudio.
In fact when I was first trying this stuff out I was running the mpd
process on my desktop locally and I could play firefox and other sources
into the DAC by plugging the usb dac right into my desktop. As
diagrammed here as 'plain mode':
plain audio:
desktop (firefox) -> usb dac -> speakers
testing mpd mode:
desktop (mpd + gnome music player) -> usb dac -> speakers
In that first use case, the dac showed as a "sink" in the pulseaudio
control. You'd simply select it and you could play videos or whatever
into the DAC and hear it.
But I'm not sure how you'd do this with remote alix pc running Voyage
MPD. Is this possible?
