I found using a named pipe from shairport with the wave input plugin
unreliable.

Instead I loaded the ALSA loopback driver, configured shairport to play
to the loopback device and then opened the loopback device with the wave
input plugin.

You then don't need to make any changes to the wave input plugin.

Load the loopback driver.

modprobe snd_aloop

I then have these two devices.

Loopback: Loopback PCM (hw:0,0)
Loopback: Loopback PCM (hw:0,1)

Add this to shairport.pl command line instead of the named pipe.

--ao_driver=alsa --ao_devicename=hw:0,0

Then point the input plugin to the second device.

wavin:hw:0,1
