"-o default" blocks hw:0 about squeezelite HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you please identify the previous squeezelite version that worked and the current version that you're having the issue with?

Hey Ralph,

thanks for your answer. In the meantime I found out, that this problem occurs because of the pulseaudio autospawn feature.

When I tried to start the squeezelite client with a systemd service file (user = pi) pulseaudio got started again in the new user-session created by systemd in the course of starting squeezelite.

As of pulseaudio was already running for the initial pi user session, the error occured.

Simple fix is to start squeezelite by .desktop entry in ~/config/autostart folder.

Thank you again!
David

Hi, I'm very interested in how to use squeezelite over pulseaudio.
I have special circumstances... :)
To date, I'm using alsa with an eight channel USB sound card, split into four virtual stereo sound cards. Each of them gets its audio from a squeezelite instance. I would like to have the ability to play audio via network from another computer to each of the virtual sound cards, but up to now I thought that squeezelite can't use pulse audio at all?

I have pulseaudio versions for i386 and x86_64 and you'll find some details about it in these 2 threads.

Unfortuately, I've been unable to get a pulseaudio squeezelite build for the rpi.

What do you mean by "I've been unable to get a pulseaudio squeezelite build for the rpi"?
My rpi is playing and has always played (at least about 2 years) audio through the pulseaudio server, which is running on it.
I even split the two channels of my hifiberry amp into virtual sinks and two instances of squeezelite play music independendly on each.

I think I must be misunderstanding something...

I have pulseaudio native builds using the portaudio library branch listed in one of the forum threads above.

$ squeezelite-pulse -l
Output devices:
0 - Built-in Audio Analog Stereo [PulseAudio]

vs the ALSA build.

$ squeezelite -l
Output devices:
default - Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
pulse - PulseAudio Sound Server
sysdefault:CARD=Intel - HDA Intel, ALC262 Analog - Default Audio Device
