snapcast

Multiroom client-server audio player designed to ensure all clients are time-synchronized with the server for perfectly synced audio playback. Snapcast operates by using a server to pick up an audio stream from a FIFO pipe, allowing it to be combined with any audio source capable of writing to a pipe, thus enabling synchronized audio playback across multiple devices over a network. This technology is particularly beneficial for users seeking seamless audio experiences in multiroom environments, such as home audio enthusiasts and commercial audio installations.
