[SOLVED] MPD Pipe output

[vv329]

Hi Kith,
I am testing out Snakeoil OS to see if it fits for the purpose.

I am currently using a Dell Optiplex 390 i3 desktop as music server, running Lubuntu 16.04 LTS and MPD v19, I am using MPD's pipe output to Ecasound for a 4 ways active speaker, external USB sound card is Asus U7, this setup also involving custom compile FIR filters from source code created by Richard Taylor.  This setup working beautifully excepted that the OS is not optimized for audio use.

Since I have seen that your MPD implementation does not use mpd.conf, would it be possible to use MPD's pipe output in SnakeOil OS?

Best regards,

William

Hi William,

Can you cut and paste the contents of your configuration here?  

Hi Kith,
Here is the output section, the rest of file is not altered and pretty much standard file generate by MPD install, this is not the latest version of the scripts, all *.ecp file containing  values of the filters are saved in /etc directory.

audio_output {
        type    "pipe"
        name    "LX521"
        format  "96000:32:2"
