[Voyage-linux] mpd.conf and DSD files

[Catalin Miu]

Hi Jim,
    In order to be able to stream dsd over pcm you should add the following
to mpd.conf your device section:

    dsd_usb         "yes"

    please find below for exemplification my mpd.conf entry

    audio_output {
            type            "alsa"
            name            "Rockna - Audiobyte Silver Dragon"
            device          "hw:0,0"
            dsd_usb         "yes"
    }

    Catalin Miu
