Working on new Snakeoil release - 1.3.x (Codename Measurements)

And use web sockets rather than loopback?

Thanks for the offer. Will ask for your help once I get the installer ready. You mean for the WebApp? Probably not going to use web sockets as RestAPI is more CPU cycle friendly.

Technically the library (cpprestsdk) I'm using for the implementation do have a WS interface, but don't see any need for introducing that for now. In truth I did thought of introducing WS when doing app installs and firmware upgrades, but just don't like the idea of introducing something that could potentially affect SQ. 

I used loopback, mainly because it was easier to understand and install than web sockets. Web sockets appeared more elegant but if SQ could potentially be affected, then go loopback.

When you ready, we can continue discussing CamillaDSP in my feature request thread. And V2 is in Alpha, with a GUI to make it easier, but I have yet to try.

The thing that tweaked my worry module was your expressed commitment to CM4 - I'd be interested in your hardware setup for the CM4 as I've been starting to think if a CM4 might be better for my server (there's probably a whole new thread on this one, I guess).

Your comment prompted me to look up the differences between CM4 (have Pi2 Design Mercury V2) and Pi4

Given you are using Pi3's, I think it will be logical to go Pi4 ?

Thanks for that link @"Snoopy8". I'll read it later. My interest in the CM4 is in what I understand is the greater storage flexibility (via associated circuit boards) than the RPi4, but I'm in the very earliest stages of researching it - just an almost empty note in Obsidian   .

Also, I think you may have misunderstood my setup. It's a multiroom system. I already have an RPi 4 8GB for my SO server running LMS and an RPi 4 2GB for my Office system. My main system is headed up by an Allo Digione Signature on an RPi 3. From what I've read, the Signature is specific to either RPi 3 or RPi 4. I have no plans to replace the Sig in the foreseeable future, hence my interest in seeing the RPi 3 still supported in SO. There are also two other RPi 3 clients in the system, one live and the other waiting to go live after my office is decorated. 

All of my client RPis use HAT cards rather than USB for audio because the i2s channel is demonstrably quieter.
