Multizone Audio Control?

Postby mr.curmudgeon » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:25 pm

Any chance the upcoming 'jukebox' mode can be broadened to include the ability to manage a PC-based whole house audio system (ie: a sound card with multiple independent audio outputs), then incorporated into the Android/iPhone Subsonic UI, ie: something like the Airplay apps from Apple? (see below)

It would be awesome if it displayed the album cover of the music being streamed to each zone, and allowed you 'link' the volume control so all zones could be controlled at once, or unlinked for independent control. To me, an avid Subsonic user both at home and remotely with my Android, it would be ideal having Subsonic (via iPod Touch) controlling all the audio throughout my whole system.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to allow Subsonic to address a sound card with these outputs, but I figure if it can be configured to send audio to various outputs of our choosing, then it's kinda' platform/hardware independent and opens up a whole new market for the Subsonic software.
