audio player software -> snapfifo -> snapserver -> network -> snapclient -> alsa
###MPD setup
###MPD
To connect [MPD](http://www.musicpd.org/) to the Snapserver, edit `/etc/mpd.conf`, so that mpd will feed the audio into the snapserver's named pipe
Disable alsa audio output by commenting out this section:

###Mopidy setup
###Mopidy
[Mopidy](https://www.mopidy.com/) can stream the audio output into the Snapserver's fifo with a `filesink` as audio output in `mopidy.conf`:
[audio]
#output = autoaudiosink
output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S16LE ! wavenc ! filesink location=/tmp/snapfifo
###MPlayer setup
###MPlayer
Use `-novideo` and `-ao` to pipe MPlayer's audio output to the snapfifo:
mplayer http://wms-15.streamsrus.com:11630 -novideo -channels 2 -srate 48000 -af format=s16le -ao pcm:file=/tmp/snapfifo
###Alsa setup
###Alsa
If the player cannot be configured to route the audio stream into the snapfifo, Alsa or PulseAudio can be redirected, resulting in this chain:
audio player software -> Alsa -> Alsa file plugin -> snapfifo -> snapserver -> network -> snapclient -> Alsa

###PulseAudio setup
###PulseAudio

pacmd update-sink-proplist Snapcast device.description=Snapcast
It might me neccessary to set the pulse audio latency environment variable to 60 msec: `PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60`
###AirPlay
Snapserver supports (shairport-sync)[https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync] with `stdout` backend.
1. Build shairport-sync with `stdout` backend: `./configure --with-stdout --with-avahi --with-ssl=openssl --with-metadata`
2. Copy the `shairport-sync` binary somewhere to your `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin/`
3. Configure snapserver with `-s "airplay:///shairport-sync?name=Airplay[&devicename=Snapcast][&port=5000]"`
###Spotify
Snapserver supports (librespot)[https://github.com/badaix/librespot] with `stdout` backend.
1. Build `librespot` with `stdout` backend: `cargo build --features stdout-backend`
2. Copy the `librespot` binary somewhere to your `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin/`
3. Configure snapserver with `-s "spotify:///librespot?name=Spotify&username=<my username>&password=<my password>[&devicename=Snapcast][&bitrate=320]"`
