Squeezeboxes: Three Soundcards in one MD = 1 MD + 2 Squeezeboxes

@@ Line 65: / Line 65: @@
 Squeezeslave #1 is placed in room #2 together with Zone #2. I connected them using the Connection wizard. Same is done for Squeezeslave #2 and Zone #3, which are placed in room #3. When controlling this room, the receiver receives the vol+/- and on/off command and the squeezeslave gets the signal.
 ===Conclusion===
 The multiroom audio is working perfectly. I have on MD and one receiver and can control three zones. This setup gets the last out of my receiver and is exactly what I wanted to have. :)

This squeezeslave version integrates perfectly, detects all soundcards, lists analog and digital audio ports and is very robust. I also added '-O' to the paramlist of the daemons, so they're running in the 'Oldmode', preventing the "receive errors".

 I hope, that I get this running and have two soundcards running as squeezeboxes, connect them as analog audio source to the receiver and have the receiver controlling the mainzone and the two audiozones.
