im running into some problems with xbmc hogging the audio device. I would like to run an instance of squeezelite/squeezeslave on my htpc for easy to use and control music listening via my logitech media server which also runs on my box.
the thing now is: xbmc seems to hog the audio device for about 1 minute after it has started and after it has played any audio output. i tried specifying in guisettings.xml to use the alsa dmix device which should work for these cases and merge audio streams. but it doesnt seem to change xbmc's behaviour.
is there anybody who has successfully managed to run 2 audio applications at once?
