Line-In Synchronization

Now that there is mini boom (Radio) on the block. Will Line-In synchronization be backported to the Boom?

If I understand what you're asking, I believe the line-in on both Boom and Radio are for local to the device only use. IOW listen to your iPod over the Boom or Radio speaker(s) but not also on any other Squeezebox.

The capability is there. I tried it tonight before I posted. I plugged my cell into the line-in and had all of my squeezebox controller, duet remote, and squeezeslave synchronize to my Boom. They all showed Line-In as the Now Playing source but there was no audio being played on the other devices.

That's exactly what I said. Audio is local to the Line-in device only. And if the Boom is the master device playing from Line-in that all the other devices are sync'd to it then no audio to any other Squeezebox because again I believe Line-in is local only to the device. The Line-in audio only has a path to the Boom or Radio DSP amp then to the speaker(s) as I understand it. So there is no way to get it backboned on the network to other players. So no audio, but the "State" of the Boom is a command that can travel on the network and shows up on the other sync'd players. Again this is how I understand it to function. Caleb or Andy could probably verify this and/or correct anything I might have wrong.

Right, Line-in is local only. However, with Squeezebox Radio, we now have a
Linux based device with line-in to the ARM processor.

If anybody is motivated, I'd love to see somebody write a synchronization
routine :-)

We'll probably get to it eventually, but if somebody is handy with linux
programming and highly motivated, let me know.

I looked at your Boom Whitepaper, Caleb. Very tragic that the line input can't be processed and sent over the network on the Boom.
