Hi,
A ~pre3 image and moode-player installable package are available for testing. The pre images are hosted at moodeaudio.org (not GitHub) and download times may be long due to limited bandwidth for my hosting plan.
The goal for ~pre3 was stability and function, especially for audio configuration (ALSA dynamic card assignment) and backup/restore (refactor, add missing settings), and also to provide a working alsa_cdsp / CamillaDSP on Pi-5.
Audio configuration
The main change in Bookworm is that ALSA now assigns I2S audio devices an available card instead of always card 0 and then no other cards are visible. This means that after configuring an I2S audio device (and restarting) it just appears as another device in the Output device dropdown list along with HDMI/Headphone/USB devices and can be selected and set w/o restart.
There is also a new Output device cache that retains MPD volume type, ALSA output mode and max volume for a given device. These values will be used the next time the device is selected and set thus making things easier.
Backup/restore
The Config and Press settings have been updated to include all reported missing settings. There is also a new landing page that is displayed after a restore completes. Note that moode 8 series backups cannot be used to restore to moode 9 due to the differences in audio and networking between Bullseye and Bookworm.
CamillaDSP
A test compile of the original alsa_cdsp output plugin (format switcher) is included to enable CamillaDSP to function on Pi-5 although there may be issues. Note it does not work on < Pi-5. This is being investigated but there is no timing yet for a resolution.
