Tag: Squeezelite

Squeezelite is a small headless Squeezebox emulator for Linux using ALSA audio output (and other platforms using portaudio). It is aimed at supporting high quality audio including USB dac based output at multiple sample rates including 44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192/352.8/384kHz. Squeezelite is always included in the piCorePlayer image. Originally developed and released by Adrian Smith. Currently maintained by Ralph Irving.
