Darkice on Pi Multiple Streams

[dantheman31901]

With the help of the forums, I was able to successfully get one stream up and running, I have it called darkice1.cfg From my understanding, the only thing I need to do to start another stream was to create a second file called darkice2.cfg, change the password and mount point to the second stream, and then start. I have double and triple checked my cfg file and I'm still getting the error:

$ sudo darkice -c /etc/darkice2.cfg

Using config file: /etc/darkice2.cfg
Using ALSA DSP input device: plughw:1,0
Using POSIX real-time scheduling, priority 98
DarkIce: LameLibEncoder.cpp:75: lame lib opening underlying sink error [0]

I feel like I'm missing something very simple.

Running RasberryPi3 Jessy, and again the first stream is working perfectly fine, even on reboots. I don't know what I'm missing.

Running a second stream implies that it should be from a second audio source. Is plughw:1,0 the audio source used in both instances? At the command line $ arecord -l will list your audio sources.

Running a second stream implies that it should be from a second audio source. Is plughw:1,0 the audio source used in both instances? At the command line $ arecord -l will list your audio sources.

I have currently two usb sound cards plugged in. When I run the command to list audio sources I get this:

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [C-Media USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: system [iMic USB audio system], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0



Device 1: For secondary stream, device 2 is for the primary stream. To make it eaiser on everyone, Card 2 serves the PD stream, card 1 serves FD stream. Again, the PD streams just fine.



darkice1.cfg for the PD:

device = plughw:2,0 # hw:0,0 then hw:1,0 then hw:2,0 etc
sampleRate = 22050
bitsPerSample = 16
channel = 2 # 1 for mono, 2 for stereo


darkice2.cfg for the FD:

device = plughw:1,0 # hw:0,0 then hw:1,0 then hw:2,0 etc
sampleRate = 22050
bitsPerSample = 16
channel = 2 # 1 for mono, 2 for stereo

I'm assuming that these would be the correct settings. Unless card 1 is required to be inside the darkice1.cfg file...

Try shutting down the PD feed and run just the FD feed. Do you still get the same error?

I wasn't sure how to stop feed one so I just made a copy of my .cfg file, named it copy, then deleted the original. Did a reboot, then ran the command line:

sudo darkice -c /etc/darkice2.cfg

I then ran to start darkice1.cfg and it ran successfully. But.....

After reboot, darkice1.cfg started successfully, I got the lame error again on darkice2.cfg
