Just a quick note to confirm that I tried the setup that Grant and Udo described. (Pi Zero WH + IQAudio CodecZero + streambox unstable version 4.0-dev). The streambox image is amazing. They even brought the relevant ALSA Mixer gains into the web UI with routing presets for the onboard MEMS mic, stereo electret, and aux input.
Everything worked EXCEPT I needed to restart the streambox after selecting my inputs in the UI. I lost an hour in ALSA Mixer trying to figure out why my signal was mono instead of stereo after switching from the default MEMS mic to stereo electrets. There's a cryptic note on page 15 of the "IQAudio Product Brief" pdf that hints at this, but it may be a good thing to add to the web UI too?
Also, There are HPF and compression (ALC) settings buried in the mixer that may be handy for keeping levels in check on unattended streams. Haven't spent time with it but I'm excited.
Thanks to all involved with this. It feels like a real turning point to have cheap hardware and great software working together so well.

hi all
a quick note to confirm other people's experiences, based on udo's recipe, in case useful:
for me the Pi Zero WH - the version with pre soldered header and wifi - and the IQAudio codec zero
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/iqaudio-codec-zero
work perfectly out of the box with the latest disk image from Stef @LS Dev
This is the one called: unstable version 4.0-dev
http://locusonus.org/streambox/
For me it is in fact stable with dns and wifi issues resolved and the sound is remarkable from this card with the PUI capsules:

Sounds clean and good running with a mains adaptor or a battery
best wishes
