I need to be able to play a single local audio source from a RasPi over multiple USB headphones. I need to have independent control of which headphones are playing (1 at a time, 2 at a time, ... , all at a time).I have been working with PulseAudio over the command prompt and have been able to get the audio to play over all the headsets at once, however I am lost on how I can turn headphones on/off independently WHILE the music is still playing. I'm not entirely sure its possible, hence why I am asking here. Some ideas I've had: (A) Create groups of sinks for each case of headphones on/off and change input to different source groups on the fly(B) Have audio playing over all headphones at once, but adjust volume to 0 on the sinks (headphones) that need to be offNote: many examples I have seen involve controlling a music stream attached to an IP address. I do not wish to do this, I wish to have audio files locally on the RasPi.Any help would be appreciated, I am rather new to this.
