If anyone is interested in rolling your own pi based squeezelite player
using Alpine Linux, I've worked on a couple of things that may be of
some help.  First is a wiki write up for installation of the OS image on
the pi zero w:

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Zero_W_-_Installation

It's not especially well written and it's based on notes I was taking
for getting my temperature sensor project ported over to Alpine from
PiCore so you probably want to skip some (all?) of the steps marked as
being "optional".  You might be asking why a guide would be needed -
don't you just unpack the download to an SD card and boot?  Yes, but
there is a "setup-alpine" script that walks you through basic setup,
incuding connecting to wifi, and the wifi bit didn't work for me, which
is problematic on the pi zero w.  Enabling the hardware random number
generator with the rngd-tools packages (not part of the base OS file
set) fixed that as well as any issues with wifi reconnecting at boot
time.

Also, I put together an aport to build squeezelite into three packages,
squeezelite itself, an openrc init script package, and a doc package.  I
submitted it to the mailing list to be added to the repos but I haven't
had any feedback on it:

In the meantime, if anyone would like the packages let me know, I have
them built for both armhf and armv7.  Earlier versions of the armhf
version ran on the raspberry pi 3 B+ but the latest Alpine downloads
(3.9.2 as of this post) appear to remove support for the pi 3 from the
armhf version, so I needed both package sets, armhf for my zero w and
armv7 for my pi 3.
