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