@mherger, do you know, whether Logitech/Slimdevices ever patented
anything from their ideas?

I'm wondering, as I'm just reading about the currently filed lawsuite
from Sonos against Google:
https://www.businessinsider.de/international/sonos-sues-google-alleging-patent-infringement-2020-1/?r=US&IR=T

For instance Sonos' syncing algorithm is described in the following
patent:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US9195258B2/en

Interestingly its different from Logitechs one (i.e. they are 'tagging'
the music frames with timing information, where LMS just provides the
original stream and gives active 'commands' to boxes about playing
faster to get into sync again).

Wondering why the guys over at Google copied Sonos' algorithm and not
just went on with Slimdevices' open sourced (yet obfuscated with perl ;)
) algorithm.
