I've look at shairport and built and tested it on Ubuntu

it does produce a PCM stream which is sent to default audio device.  On
my system the audio has lots of clicks and "underrun" messages so I
think it needs refinement before it is ready for general use.

Since hairtunes plays to default audio using libao - Waveinput should
work as it stands as with the right settings.

As I see it, as Airplay plugin has a modded hairtunes which sends a PCM
stream direct into SBS (e.g. remove libao and stream the PCM as a WAV to
stdout) but it may be hard to achieve as the hairtunes will only produce
a audio stream when connected to a iPod player - and SBS would have to
pick up the PCM stream only when a new instance of hairtunes has
started.  If hairtunes is not started then SBS would play silence first
and then connected to hairtunes and if hairtunes is already running SBS
has to find and pick up the PCM stream with the added complication that
some user may want an Airplay stream per SB player.  I'll do a bit of
thinking on this bit.
