Hi, I cannot play any media sent to go-librespot. I am using zeroconf, this is the error printed on the console:

WARN[0065] failed handling dealer request                error="failed starting playback: ALSA error at snd_pcm_open: Device or resource busy"

Is there a way around this please? Thanks.

Something is using the ALSA device on your system. You can see who's that with:

fuser -fv /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*
