I will try and write something up in plain text and then we can decide where it is best to place it. Is it possible to get a git tree to dump the code in? My code is a very rough proof of concept in that it is poorly written and not extensible, BUT it works really well. I would love to have the time/help to clean it up with some proper development standards (I'm a C/C++/C# coder, I don't even know what the proper standards are for python/php :) ) !

I built exactly what you are asking for about a year ago and have been using it A LOT ever since. I currently have 6 zones (5 sets of speakers + icecast output) and 4 mpd instances. I also have a very rudimentary interface to allow any mpd instance to play its sound out of any zone (or multiple zones, synced).

I warn you the code is hacky, but perhaps with someone interested in the problem it could be cleaned up and turned into a proper open source project. It is also based on 0.9.10 and because it works so well (like it has NEVER crashed) I haven't ever upgraded anything except MPD to get replaygain support.

Email me directly if you are interested.

For a while now Matt I've been interested in creating a "Recipes" section on the PA website so talk about more advanced uses of PA. It would be great if you could write up a blog article or similar and then we can link it on the PA website. Or feel free to create a page directly on the PA website if you like!! If you don't have time, don't worry. I completely appreciate the effort involved in writing up these things :)
