I am not going to waste too many words this time, instead I am just posting the commands required to get squeezeslave run as deamon on a Raspbian Raspberry Pi.

1. Download and untar latest Squeezslave for your Raspberry from https://code.google.com/p/squeezeslave/. As of today this can be done via

   wget https://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.3-390-armhf-lnx32.tar.gz
   tar -zxvf squeezeslave-1.3-390-armhf-lnx32.tar.gz
   

2. Move everything into the right places

   sudo mkdir /usr/local/squeezeslave
   sudo mv squeezeslave /usr/local/squeezeslave
   sudo chown root:root /usr/local/squeezeslave/squeezeslave
   sudo ln -s /usr/local/squeezeslave/squeezeslave /usr/local/bin/squeezeslave
   

   From here on you should already be able to run squeezeslave via

   squeezeslave -o 0 YOURSERVER

3. To run squeezeslave as a deamon and at the system start you’ll need to add this file and get it to the right place.

   wget https://blog.chschmid.com/media/squeezeslave
   sudo mv squeezeslave /etc/init.d
   sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/squeezeslave
   sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/squeezeslave
   sudo update-rc.d squeezeslave defaults
   

4. Now all that is left is to create a config file

   sudo joe /etc/default/squeezeslave
   

   with the following content:

   SSMAC="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
   SBSHOST= YOURSERVER
   SSOPTIONS="-o 0"
   

   Obviously you want to configure it to work with your server and add the MAC address which you find under HWaddr using

   ifconfig
   

5. You can now either reboot your machine or start the service manually

   sudo service squeezeslave start
   

Another problem is that the Raspbian by default boots at a rather low audio volume. This can be fixed by

1. setting the volume with the command line mixer

   sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
   alsamixer
   

2. and storing the settings

   sudo alsactl store
