This plugin is amazing! I was running LMS on Windows 8.1 with a
convoluted combination of Shairport4w which was piping to VLC which
would transcode to MP3 and do an HTTP stream to LMS. It was very laggy
(2 - 10 secs) and very unreliable. I finally took an old Nettop I had
and loaded Debian with LMS. I am using a bunch of USB sound cards to
output to speakers all over the house. It's working WAY better. Let lag
than my Apple TV 2 and I like how the AirPlay volume control proxies
over to the Squeezelite player. I've also tested where one device
AirPlays to one room and another device AirPlays to another and it works
perfect. The only problem I am having is that I can't sync multiple
players. As soon as I group two players the playback stops. This is
something I use all the time. I like to be able to AirPlay to one room
and then use the iPeng iOS App to link other rooms to that room so that
I have music all through the house.

I've seen several people ask if this is possible but no one ever
responds. I'm guessing this isn't possible. If not, is this something
that could be resolved? If you can't sync rooms then this is no better
than scrapping LMS and using several instances of Shairport4w outputting
to multiple soundcards.
