The snapserver reads PCM chunks of 50ms duration from the pipe `/tmp/snapfifo`. The chunk is encoded and tagged with the local time
* PCM: lossless uncompressed
* FLAC: lossless compressed [default]
* Vorbis: lossy compression

Every received chunk is first decoded and added to the client's chunk-buffer. Knowing the server's time, the chunk is played out using alsa at the appropriate time. Time deviations are corrected by
* skipping parts or whole chunks
