Hey there,
I am having issues using the WaveInput plugin on my Raspberry Pi unit. For background information, I currently have two RPis (both with Wolfson sound cards) set up for audio playback. One of the units has LMS installed on it and both have squeezelite player installed. I can have both players simultaneously play a flac file from the server with no gaps or sound issues. Local recording and playback (with arecord, aplay, or vlc) works on both units. Also, I can listen to an input from line in by piping arecord to aplay. However, I have to close squeezelite on whichever RPi I want to use arecord, aplay, or vlc with (they complain that the device is busy).
Now, for the problem. I wish to take the linein input to the Wolfson card and play that back on the server as well as the client RPi. I got the WaveInput plugin through the LMS plugins section, added the URL "wavin:default" to my favorites, played a song locally with vlc on the server, and tried to select the URL in my favorites on my Squeeze Android app. However, when I press play, the button will flash from pause to play in an instant, and I won't get any audio out on the client Pi. I tried switching the URL to "wavin:hw:0" (this is how I specify my Wolfson card when I use arecord) and playing from the LMS webpage, but I get the same results for both. I read through most of the WaveInput Linux main discussion thread, but I couldn't find something that could help me (or that was clear enough to me). Does anyone have an idea of how to get playback running with this plugin. I am a beginner with Linux. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Michael
