I've been working with Linux audio for over 2 decades, so I'm not a noob -- though I don't normally do Linux GUI desktop stuff.
I'm using 9.92, since 10.x doesn't really seem to work on MacOS or Linux. That's been my experience, anyway. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.3
I'd love to use the VLC input. But I cannot for the life of me figure out where to enter the stream URL. What I've read implies that there's a place to enter that on the ST GUI. That just does not appear to be the case, unless it is very skillfully hidden.
As a plan B I installed jackd. VLC shows up as a jack device just fine. Everything works normally.
In ST I have jack (ALSA) selected as the main input. Jackd is running before starting ST. ST gives a startup error every time, and never shows as an input in the Jack GUI:
Error opening (ID 3, 2ch, srate 44100): N: Input/output error
If I select 'jack' as the output device for Normal, it behaves as expected. It shows up as an output device and pairs itself with the system.
inputs. I've tried other sample rates, etc. I get a sample rate error if the settings in ST & jack don't match, the above error if they do.
My definite preference would be to get VLC working as the input. I've never had good luck with Jack's long term stability.
I just tried ST 10.11 -- it basically behaves the same as 9.92. VLC input doesn't even seem to be an option.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
