But that's my point: here, you are not transfering any "control plane" (volume, metadata, precise track position and other feedback to LMS) information, only "data plane" (audio stream). Typically, LMS sends data to squeezelite, that decodes them, output them "blindly" to stdout and then you pipe to another app. No timing sync between the 2, no track control, except buffer flow control. For example, PasTim has done a great job doing the same with uPnP devices. Believe me the biggest difficulty was not the interface with LMS, but the true sync between the 2 domains and that gave me a lot of pain. Passing the stream output to libshairport does not do any good for that, the stream output is just what I call the "data plane" LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.
