@ -85,10 +85,11 @@ Redirect the PulseAudio stream into the snapfifo:
audio player software -> PulseAudio -> PulsaAudio pipe sink -> snapfifo -> snapserver -> network -> snapclient -> Alsa
Pulseaudio will also want to make the pipe file for its self and will error when attempting to make if it allready exsits, see the config instructions in the main readme file on how to make snapserver only read the file and not make it.
Load the module `pipe-sink` like this:
pacmd load-module module-pipe-sink file=/tmp/snapfifo sink_name=Snapcast
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`
