[SlimDevices: Beginners] Can I use a squeezebox as a general soundcard?

[Nikhil]

The short answer is no.

The squeezebox and its brethren, are designed to play your music
library stored on a computer through a hi-fi - and they do that
extremely well.

There are workarounds that will let you stream other sound output from
your computer to the squeezebox, but as I said, they are merely
workarounds, and so not the intended use.

One of these might serve you better:

Or you could use Apple's Airport Express with the excellent Airfoil
software from Rogue Amoeba
