# Configuration
## Sources
source URI of the PCM input stream, can be configured multiple times
The following notation is used in this paragraph:
- `<angle brackets>`: the whole expression must be replaced with your specific setting
- `[square brackets]`: the whole expression is optional and can be left out
- `[key=value]`: if you leave this option out, "value" will be the default for "key"
Format:
TYPE://host/path?name=<name>[&codec=<codec>][&sampleformat=<sampleformat>][&chunk_ms=<chunk ms>]
parameters have the form `key=value`, they are concatenated with an `&` character
parameter `name` is mandatory for all sources, while `codec`, `sampleformat` and `chunk_ms` are optional
and will override the default `codec`, `sampleformat` or `chunk_ms` settings.
Non blocking sources support the `dryout_ms` parameter: when no new data is read from the source, send silence to the clients
Available types are:
### pipe
pipe:///<path/to/pipe>?name=<name>[&mode=create][&dryout_ms=2000], mode can be "create" or "read"
### librespot
librespot:///<path/to/librespot>?name=<name>[&dryout_ms=2000][&username=<my username>&password=<my password>][&devicename=Snapcast][&bitrate=320][&wd_timeout=7800][&volume=100][&onevent=""][&nomalize=false][&autoplay=false]
note that you need to have the librespot binary on your machine
sampleformat will be set to "44100:16:2"
### file
file:///<path/to/PCM/file>?name=<name>
### process
process:///<path/to/process>?name=<name>[&dryout_ms=2000][&wd_timeout=0][&log_stderr=false][&params=<process arguments>]
### airplay
airplay:///<path/to/airplay>?name=<name>[&dryout_ms=2000][&port=5000]
note that you need to have the airplay binary on your machine
sampleformat will be set to "44100:16:2"
### tcp server
tcp://<listen IP, e.g. 127.0.0.1>:<port>?name=<name>[&mode=server]
default for `port` (if omitted) is 4953, default for `mode` is `server`
mopidy.conf (running GStreamer in [client mode](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/gstreamer-sdk/data/docs/latest/gst-plugins-base-plugins-0.10/gst-plugins-base-plugins-tcpclientsink.html))

### alsa
alsa://?name=<name>&device=<alsa device>
Snapcast v0.21 can capture audio from alsa, and to capture the output of a player, an alsa loopback device can be used:
1. setup the alsa loopback device by loading the kernel module:
```
sudo modprobe snd-aloop
```
2. the loopback device should show up in `aplay -l`
```
aplay -l

```
On my system it's card 0 with devices 0 and 1, each having 8 subdevices. You can address them with `hw:<card idx>,<device idx>,<subdevice num>`, i.e. `hw:0,0,0`.
If a process plays audio using `hw:0,0,x`, then this audio is looped back to `hw:0,1,x`, so
3. Configure your player to use a loopback device.
For mopidy (gstreamer) it should be something like this (not tested):
```
output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S16LE ! wavenc ! alsasink device=hw:0,0,0
```
For mpd: in mpd.conf
```
audio_output_format "48000:16:2"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0,0" # optional
# auto_resample "no"
# mixer_type "hardware" # optional
# mixer_device "default" # optional
# mixer_control "PCM" # optional
# mixer_index "0" # optional
}
```
4. Configure Snapserver to capture the loopback device:
```
[stream]
stream = alsa://?name=SomeName&sampleformat=48000:16:2&device=hw:0,1,0
```
