I think people are misunderstanding my request. I have several installs
of SqueezeLite for each zone. With your plugin it automatically makes
AirPlay targets for each SqueezeLite instance. I can then stream to any
of these targets individually. What I would like to do is be streaming
to any of these targets and then sync another SqueezeLite player to the
one I am currently AirPlaying to. In other words, I am not looking to
use AirPlay to do the syncing. It is LMS that does the syncing. AirPlay
should work just like any other source in LMS.

As I said before, my old setup was pure windows. I used several
instances of Shairport4w which all piped to VLC which would then create
an HTTP radio stream. For example the Livingroom instance of Shairport
would create a stream like this http://127.0.0.1:8091/Livingroom.mp3 and
then use the LMS json rpc interface to queue it up to the correct
SqueezeLite player. Once I had the AirPlay stream going into LMS I could
then use LMS's syncing features to bind other rooms to this same stream.
I know, it's a convoluted mess. I really like how your plugin
streamlines the whole process. Any it's lossless which is something I
could never accomplish with VLC. VLC will only do PCM over RTMP and LMS
doesn't do RTMP. So I had to go with MP3.

Today I dreamed up another pure windows solution which uses Shairport4w
to pipe to VLC and then launch iTunes to open this stream. Once it's in
iTunes I can use the iOS Remote app to remote control iTunes and tell it
to output via AirPlay to other rooms in the house. But it's similar to
my old Shairport4w/VLC/LMS/SqueezeLite setup where it's very very laggy
and unstable.
