Music streamer + HAT for Raspberry Pi 4B?

[John Long via freebsd-arm]

Hi,

I am looking for information on how to set up a music streamer using
FreeBSD on a Pi 4B and what HATs are compatible. I'm sorry if this is
the wrong list, aside from freebsd-multimedia I did not see an obvious
correct choice.

I run FreeBSD 12.2 on servers now and desktop in the past and have basic
familiarity with the OS from a home sysadmin perspective. I have no
experience with Raspberry Pi.

I would like to find out what HATs are known to work- specifically
those supporting coaxial S/PDIF or AES output. I want to use the device
as a transport (no analog out) into a DAC.

Thanks,

/jl

don't know what you want to stream, but these are designed to stream audio:
https://www.musicpd.org/
https://github.com/xmms2/wiki/wiki

all available in the 'audio' ports tree,

and of course, 'jackd' ... and 'virtual-oss' to mix/duplicate/loopback audio
hardware.

For Hybrid Audio, if I understand you correctly, I used an m-audio mtrack by the
past via usb which was recognized through the 'uaudio' module and was working
100% well.

Now, the 'Pi-Industry' provides some embedded HA, through GPIO, but I cannot
help you on this,

hope it helps,

p&l

Hi and thanks. I know about mpd, it's on my list of things to try if I
can run FreeBSD on the Pi 4B.

I wasn't talking about audio over USB at all but rather using a "HAT"
as far as I have seen them called, that plugs into the GPIO ports as
you mentioned. The output I'm looking for is S/PDIF coax or AES/EBU.

Bypassing USB is usually a better audio interface if you have an alternative.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that we support i2s on the RPI4 which will be needed for
that.
Others might know more.
