goflex home as diy squeezebox duet

[tritron]

I purchased goflex home base for 18$ and 2$ usb soundcard 1130:f211 Tenx Technology, Inc. TP6911 Audio Headset
I had 16GB ssd but many 16 to 32GB run for 30$ . I had installed archlinux and squeezeslave. I have logitech mediaserver running on my media server.
I can control my armsqueeze using any android device, windows 7 phone and web interface. So for 20$ i got device that cost 500$ from logitech
This is mine /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1
options snd-usb-audio index=0
')


I am using this /etc/asound.conf for perfect sound
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024

buffer_size 131072

}

tritron,

Interesting project!

Is there a reliable way to identify the USB audio dongle you used? Or a link to where you purchased it?

I went and ordered a few in different shapes and sizes since they weren't that expensive and one was delivered yesterday. I'm going to put in in my Dockstar this weekend.

Once I figure out how to make it work, I will likely buy a plug computer with a form factor aceptable to my wife for regular use in a visible location
