Outside of MPD it might be possible to do something thats reliable with bare-metal ALSA. We shall see.
I use the solution now with one master raspi that streams into the network to the slaves and I'm fine with it, walking through the rooms.
But I now have another problem, that might be easier to get solved:
If I switch the radio channel on the streaming master, the slaves just continue to play the new radio channel that is streamed. This is fine.
But if I switch 2 specific ones, the slaves either stop playing or switch to their next playlist entry.
To follow the issue just switch from http://mp3.ffh.de/ffhchannels/hqlounge.mp3 to http://mp3stream1.apasf.apa.at:8000
The streaming slaves won't go on with this network stream
Is this because of the port change or just a moode internal timeout setting and what can I do to let the stream go on without user interaction?
