Introduction
Been a long time coming, but here it is. Snakeoil Gear Isolation!

Use this firmware to upgrade to Snakeoil Gear Isolation if you don't want to re-install your base OS to the latest Ubuntu Server. This will mostly work, but you may not be able to install some of the advanced players like HQplayer, JRiver, and so on.

32 bit AMD/Intel support (i386) is now officially dropped with Gear Isolation. Nothing much I can do here because upstream is no longer offering i386 builds. Raspberry Pi however, is still on 32 bits, and I'm thinking of adding ARM 64 bit support if there is enough demand for it.

Introduction
It's been nearly 3 years. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) serves us well. However it has been EOL'ed last week. Time for something new. We have decided to ditch the LiveCD ISO installer and move with a installer method instead. The shell installer potentially can expand Snakeoil into other non-debian systems, but we shall have to wait and see how that pans out in the future.

For now, lo-and-behold - Snakeoil 1.2.0. Code name Gear Isolation. Why gear isolation you may ask? Well, I believe gear Isolation can bring audio benefits to all audio gear, including solid state electronics! The benefits from gear isolation are:

• Improved clarity
  
• More focuses sound stage
  

1. Logitech Media Server requires configuration on fresh install. Documentation coming soon.
   
2. PulseAudio seems to be interfering with LMS Raspberry Pi. SSH into the Raspberry Pi, and run the following commands. Restart Pi and see how it goes.
   Code:

   sudo apt purge -y pulseaudio
3. If you encounter various 404 errors, please SSH and run these commands:
   Code:

   sudo lighttpd-enable-mod rewrite
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
4. MyMPD is not working. Upload this module to fix.
   
5. LogitechMedia Server is not working on newer Raspbian OS (Bullseye). Update to 8.2.0 to fix. Download this file and drop it in the "Install box" under the System menu. [Download]
