Thanks for that suggestion, Paul!  Interestingly, my Windows 11 setup
does have a "Loopback" function that was configured with the
installation of my Focusrite Scartlett 18i8 audio interface that will, I
think, take the place of the "Stereo Mix" feature found in older Windows
versions.  So, both the old WaveInput and StreamWhatYouHear plugins
could be part of the setup.

However, in my current situation, the source audio is on a Windows 11
laptop and the LMS server is actually on a Raspberry Pi device.  The
challenge is getting the Soundcard audio from Windows to LMS on RPi...

I did (sort of) successfully pull it off last night by using Rocket
Broadcaster to encode the soundcard output and Rocket Audio Streaming
Audio Server to "serve it up" to a TCP port on my Windows Laptop.  I
used Winamp to generate a Playlist to the server instance and then saved
the Playlist on LMS in it's Playlist directory so that I could choose it
from various Squeeze Players throughout the house.   It worked....
however there was about a 60 second ish delay in transmission.  Not
exactly a deal killer for my 5 year old...  but not exactly what I'm
looking for either.  From what I could tell this  60 latency is echoed
in other forums as well with folks trying similar software acrobatics. 

If I come across a better solution, I'll report it here.  Thanks
everyone for your generosity and support!
