thanks. I think the issue I had is that I didn't wait long enough for
the sync to start occurring. Once sync'd things seemed ok, but sync is
nowhere near as good as sync'd virtualised Squeezelite instances - the
sync on SqueezePlayer seems to vary considerably over time. I'm guessing
that the clock speed on am android phone is simply varying too much -
sync drifts and creates a very annoying echo when the squeezeplayer
audio is in earshot of the other Squeezelite instances. By itself
SqueezePlayer is great but being part of a SqueezeLite sync group
(running as virtual Debian machines) just doesn't seem to work as well
as I had hoped.

I may switch from virtualised Squeezelite to SqueezeLite on
CuBoxes/Beagleboxes etc, but the problem with this is that the
cost/complexity quickly escalates beyond the Sonos Play1 (from a pure
Spotify music viewpoint).
It would be absolutely fantastic if you were able to take a commodity
device like a Samsung S3 or a tablet like a Nexus 7 (2013 model) and
could reproduce virtualised Debian x86 VMs running Squeezelite and could
reproduce the issues I'm having. Things are so close that there must be
a solution out there...
Surely between you and Adrian there must be a solution here?
