V2.9.5.7 – Bug fixes and enhancements

on GitHub

Version 2.9.5.7 contains general bug fixes and enhancements for some special situations.

Bug Fixes

• Getting delay and latency information from the alsa subsystem has been improved -- bugs fixed, error codes handled better, arithmetic handling (hopefully) better.
• If latency information is temporarily unavailable from the alsa subsystem, skip trying to synchronise until the next time.
• Some condition variables and a mutex were uninitialised, yikes! Fixed.
• A bug that set the output volume to maximum at the same time as muting the output has been fixed. AFAIK, this was inaudible, but it was scary looking.
• Recover from name collisions in Avahi.
• Detect and handle empty buffers better.

Enhancements

• Turn off synchronisation. This is an advanced feature and generally leads to buffer underrun or overrun.
• Set alsa buffer size and alsa period size. There are advanced features, mainly for debugging. They may be removed.
• Change the Zeroconf/Bonjour regtype to enable Shairport Sync to continue to run but to be invisible to AirPlay clients. Special purpose usage only.
• Output total number of packets and the play time of a session when statistics are enabled.
