[ANNOUNCE] SqueezeButtonPi - Tool to use buttons and rotary encoders on a RPi

Start pigpiod with the -t 0 option.

Self-update:

I found this https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/issue-...oode-6-3/11875

I did what they sort of recommended, issuing the pigpiod command with -t 0, which turns the clock from PCM to PWM. This solved all of my previous issues and sound now plays normally across all devices, buttons & encoders work, etc. YAY!

Note that unlike the user in that post, i don't utilize an IR remote, so that issue is of no impact to me.

However, i'm not sure if this has other repercussions or was the intended behavior? Someone with more knowledge than me may be able to answer. I just got a little worried when i read the final comment: "I’m thinking the use of any DAC for sound is going to have the same problem, they all use i2s, as far as I know anyway." (and i'm pretty sure the vast majority of the DAC options use i2s).

All i2s dacs are going to use PCM. Those using the internal RPI audio are using PWM. Not sure if USB is affected by either clock.

Thanks Krazystar & paul - that did the trick. Now everything works again. (I also had to change the command from VOLM to VOLU - when did that change?)

I think I changed it as I needed to keep some code separated, then when I merged it, I changed everything to the new value......as that was the easier change at that time.
