Whole home sync'd rpi audio w plex, spotify, airplay
You want SnapCast. You'd run snapserver on your Linux box and snapclient on your Pi's. Snapserver has support for Airplay (via shairport-sync) and Spotify (via librespot). I recommend using MPD for your music library, as I don't think PlexAmp can output audio in a way that's useful for snapserver.

RaspberryPi Now Playing Dashboard using last.fm data and Airplay receiver
I use shairport-sync for airplay (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync), complete instructions via: https://blog.adena.dev/blog/apple-airplay-on-raspberry-pi-in-7-easy-steps

Whole Home Audio - Design Help
To replace it, I've purchased in-ceiling speakers and a Control 4 Amp (C4-16AMP3-B) which I can control via the network. I plan on using shareport-sync for AirPlay and librespot for spotify as the sources to play music. 90% of the use for my whole home audio is for music.

Need Help Troubleshooting - PiHole just stops functioning
I have Shairport-Sync running as well as Plex (I don't use Plex though, it is just sitting there.) So some services related to them may show up.
I think this Pi runs of an SD card but I also have an SSD hooked up to it for Plex. I don't ever use Plex though, so I don't think that is causing issues. I also have Shairport-Sync running, but I think that is fairly lightweight as well.
- Is there a project similar to shairport-sync to serve a chrome cast server?

Ask HN: What's on Your Home Server?
I host a Mastodon instance, a Matrix server (using synapse and coturn), a Minecraft server for the kids, a server for an esoteric mod of Ultima Online called Ruins & Riches, and a Web server. I use Nginx for reverse proxying and Wireguard for VPN.
I also run a bunch of Raspberry Pis around the house connected to stereos to stream audio using AirPlay (with https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync).

Breaking out my old Pi 1b. Anything lightweight I can put it to work on?
I run shairport-sync on mine with a USB DAC (AirPlay). Runs great.

Modernizing my 1980s sound system
Yes, you wouldn't get this running on an existing smart speaker (without first rooting it and some serious hacking).
If you'r in the Apple ecosystem and are using AirPlay with your smart speaker(s), it's however possible to also play synchronized audio across to your own DIY speaker setup, using another open source project.
https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
Or you could of course choose to only use your old dumb speakers with this, and they will pop up as easily selectable sound output devices on all Apple devices connected to your network.
Or combine it (and librespot[2], owntone[3]...) with Snapcast to create a virtual speaker for your whole house that shows up everywhere.

Show HN: HiFiScan, a Python app to optimize your loudspeakers
This looks cool. I'm not sure if they are intending to go all the way to room correction but it can really do wonders. A good while back my music setup used filters calculated by an open source FIR tool with playback driven by an older version of Shairport (emulating an AirPort express) using BruteFIR as a convolver. Fiddly to set up but it sounded really good.

Show HN: RootMy.TV
Nice, I’d love to install software such as rpiplay [0] to mirror my iOS device, also would be nice to maybe gain some kind of low-latency wireless Linux-compatible screen share server.

Use Raspberry Pi as Airplay server to screen mirror on TVs, monitors, projectors
How is this an improvement over https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay.git ?
there's a tiny link at the bottom of the readme that points to the project that is actually doing the work (this appears to be deploy scripts for a company's cloud project): https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay
in the actual project's readme, they note:
>
Very cute that there's a one click deployment using some semi-magic third party service, but it feels kinda disingenuous to not link to the repo that's doing the actual heavy lifting.[] The linked repo is just a bunch of config files.
