RE: Tuning Linux/MPD/Alsa for best sound on ALIX processor

Ryelands
Lack of cuesheet support may be the killer for you. I have not spent much time looking for a tool that reads cue sheets and create mpd playlists. I find it hard to believe someone has not done it. As you point out the playlist files are just very simple text files. If I see anything, I'll let you know.

Without video card or monitor it is surprisingly easy. On your client machine, you configure some software to use SSH to tunnel into Linux on the ALIX. In windows, download a little app called Putty. You tell putty the IP address of the Alix and up pops an xterm window which you use for command line. mpdpup wizzards pop up some Q&A that will configure everything for you. So basically Alix just boots up on power up and when itis fully booted (about 1min) it will accept your logon from Putty. If you client is running linux, in an xterm from command line you simply use SSH. ssh root@192.168.1.2 ... a moment later mpdpup askes for the password "woofwoof", and you are in.
