Hi,

I successfully build and run the app. GUI seems to show that a song is being played, though I cannot hear any sound.

The following appears in the log:

psst/psst-gui (master*) $ cargo run --release 
<... skipping warnings ...>

Environment

cargo version: cargo 1.51.0-nightly (783bc43c6 2021-01-20)
rustc version: rustc 1.51.0-nightly (f4eb5d9f7 2021-01-25)
OS: NixOS, pulseaudio

I've found an issue about connection interruption (https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/10), but my PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and also I cannot play any song at all.

Let me know if any additional information is needed.

All right, I figured out that the following is relevant for me:

miniaudio-rs examples are not working
miniaudio's device backend is Null, here at line 104 github.com/jpochyla/psst@ad7b21031c/psst-core/src/audio_output.rs (L100-L104)

device.context().backend() returns Null

Edit: Well, maybe it's OK to have a 'Null' device on line 104, though it doesn't change to anything else even when device is supposed to be started.

Probably it's an issue with either my configuration or miniaudio. I close this issue since it's not about Psst.

P.S. Related miniaudio issue: mackron/miniaudio#267
