[PROBLEM] Multiple devices playing through one moode device

[Tim Curtis]

I've got 4 computers and a miscellany of portable devices in my office, and one good pair of speakers hooked up to my Moode Audio on a Pi Zero & miniboss.

I'd like to be able to play music on any device, and still hear the beeps, pings, and occasional videos from other devices, without having to juggle audio sources. (E.g. I'd like them all to just be mixed together). Is this possible?

I tried having multiple devices play via bluetooth to the Moode box, but the mix is clearly having a hard time time slicing (not sure if this requires the multiple cores of a Pi3 or Pi4). I've a pair of headphones that does a moderately good job of this for 2 devices, so was hopeful for Moode. 

Is there another way? Airplay? Or is this hopeless and I should drag my ancient analog mixer out of the attic?

Thanks!

This usage scenario is not supported because moOde routes audio to ALSA directly and not via ALSA dmix mixer. This is done to achieve best SQ.  The exception is Bluetooth if speaker sharing is turned on but this option is designed to work primarily with IOS clients which automatically disconnect one another.
