squeezeslave and alsa

[romanr]

Ralphy,
I think the issue to use -o as device number for alsa, why not use alsa name. for me some time device 0 and deivce 2 they replace one of other.
ralphy, why not use to use -o alsa:maduio12 as output option for squeezeslave

It's on my todo list but haven't done much coding over the summer. It will most likely be including in the next release.

I should have mentioned this thread which has a script you could use to find the name and extract the device number for squeezeslave. You need to change the pulse string to the device you use.

Hello Ralphy,

i found how to make it in one line:

./squeezeslave localhost -o `./squeezeslave -L | grep gigaoutput12 |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1)}'` -mac 10:00:00:00:00:01 --retry

i stuck with another strange issue.

when i initialy do -L i get following list.
Output devices:
* 0: GIGAPort AG: USB Audio (hw:0,0)
1: SiS SI7012: SiS SI7012 (hw:1,0)
2: SiS SI7012: SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC (hw:1,1)
3: USB AUDIO : USB Audio (hw:2,0)
4: M Audio Delta 1010LT: ICE1712 multi (hw:3,0)
5: front
6: surround40
7: surround71
8: iec958
9: spdif
10: maudio
11: gigaport
12: gigaoutput12
13: gigaoutput34
14: gigaoutput56
15: gigaoutput78
16: maduio12
17: maudio34
18: maudio56
19: maudio78
20: usb
21: usbstereo
22: default
23: dmix

after i run
/root/squeezeslave/bin/squeezeslave localhost -o `./squeezeslave -L | grep gigaoutput12 |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1)}'` -mac 10:00:00:00:00:01 --retry

to allocate 1st slave.

I do again squeezeslave -L and i get's new list but shorter.

Output devices:
* 0: SiS SI7012: SiS SI7012 (hw:1,0)

I've finally had a chance to look at this. The behaviour you're seeing is normal, at least based on my testing. The list of available devices changes because the 1st squeezeslave instance has already opened an audio device. The portaudio library function called to display the -L list doesn't return devices already in use.
