Squeezelite on rock with USB DAC

Working on getting squeezelite working with a USB DAC to play with Logitech Media Server. You need Logitech Media Server otherwise squeezelite is worthless without it. I have several instances of LMS around my house

Download Squeezelite AMRV6hf from here

   https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/downloads/detail?name=squeezelite-armv6hf&can=2&q=

   sudo mv ./squeezelite-armv6hf /usr/bin/squeezelite

   sudo chmod ug+x /usr/bin/squeezelite

Plug Dac into USB and type

   squeezelite -l

It lists all sound devices. I typically use the "front" device. Then type.

   squeezelite -o front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 -n ANYNAMEYOUWANT -s YOUR . SERVER . ADDRESS -a ::16:

i.e.

   squeezelite -o front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 -n RadxaRock -s 10.0.1.99 -a ::16:

Unfortunately I can't get it working in 24 bit so far. I'm close with a few pops and clicks and hopefully can get it. And anybody that has any ideas I'm all ears.
