I'm trying to get music from mpd to my USB DAC in 100% untouched form. My mpd.conf is as follows: audio_output { type "alsa" name "USB Monica" device "hw:0,0" format "44100:16:2" } I know this isn't the mpd list, but does that look like it should accomplish this? Is there any way to verify that this is happening? - Grant ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
