Excellent info. But could you elaborate a bit more on point D ? You select the Foobar instance from your HI-FI device ? Or do you mean you select your renderer *from* the foobar instance, and instruct foobar to play the 'Playback Stream Capture' ?
Regards,

I go to my Hi-Fi device, select the foobar2000 server as my source. This gives 3 options - a Media List, a Playlist, or 'Playback Stream Capture'. I select the latter. This foobar2000 instance is acting both as a renderer for MinimServer, and as a server for the HiFi. I suppose one could use yet another control point to control the interaction between the foobar2000 server and the HiFi renderer, but there is little point, since it is just streaming continuously without need to track selection.
