Well because it isn't working with iOS9 and the plugin doesn't support
sync then there is really no need for it. I ditched LMS and went pure
shairport-sync for all my zones. There is also a Node app called
node_airtunes which can take stdin and output it to multiple AirPlay
devices in sync. I also cloned the latest shairport-sync dev branch
which has the ability to pipe output. The goal in the end will be to
create a shairport-sync instance called Multiroom which will pipe it's
output to node_airtunes and create a webui for selecting which AirPlay
devices to output to with individual vol controls and all that. Right
now I am having a hard time getting node_airtunes to play anything
though. I was about to give up for the day when I came across another
app for windows called TuneBlade. It can capture audio to a specific
sound card and then output it to individual AirPlay devices. So I
installed VAC and installed Sahirport4w to create a target named
Multiroom which outputs to VAC. TuneBlade then captures VAC and sends it
out to other AirPlay targets. There is also a very simplistic iOS app
for controlling TuneBlade's output. It has a lot of latency (about
2secs) which kind of sucks. In the end I would rather go the
shairport-sync/node_airtunes route. But for now this will work.

So finally I have a multiroom audio system that even the wife should
enjoy. :)
