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.

MphpD - A PHP library for MPD
Last week I released v1.0.0 of MphpD - a fully-featured, dependency-free PHP library for the Music Player Daemon. It's my first take on a library so feedback and suggestions is very much welcome and appreciated.

Festival v1.0.0 - A music player
Eventually I'd like to continue with the other frontends I have planned, starting with festivald which will be a music daemon, similar to mpd.

How do I use Server as Speakers?
Well, it’s a slightly odd use case in that normally the server would just be the server and not also the player, but given the kit you’ve got it makes sense. Probably what you want is MPD plus one of the MPD web clients.

C++20 Coroutines and Io_uring
Source code for CoReadTextFile() which is also a coroutine: https://github.com/CM4all/libcommon/blob/master/src/io/uring...
Sample code for libpq: https://github.com/CM4all/libcommon/blob/master/test/co/RunC... and c_ares https://github.com/CM4all/libcommon/blob/master/test/co/RunC... and libcurl https://github.com/CM4all/libcommon/blob/master/test/curl/Ru...
I wrote all of this for proprietary applications at dayjob, but the core library is open source, as is much of my dayjob code. The I/O event loop this integrates with is also used by several open source projects I maintain, e.g. the Music Player Daemon (https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/tree/master/src/eve...) which can also take advantage of io_uring, though not (yet) with coroutines, only "classic" non-blocking I/O.
My code is optimized for low-overhead; the very core doesn't even use std::function because I fear its implicit heap allocations. Long ago, I used boost::asio (which also integrates well with coroutines) but didn't like it because it was too bloated for me.
I've rarely seen other nerds talk about C++ coroutines, and never about integrating them with io_uring, made me thinking I'm the only one. But maybe all the others just don't write/blog about it - I never did either...

Modernizing my 1980s sound system
If you want a music player that you can control from another room, you can do that by installing a very small distro such as the x86 Alpine Linux image (https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/) then the mpd daemon (https://www.musicpd.org/ - it's in standard repositories install it with "apk add mpd" from root shell) which can work headless, therefore requiring very few resources, then a suitable control app for your phone or tablet (search for mpd control app), so that you can do pretty much everything through your home WiFi from any room, basement, backyard, etc.
Should you experience noises, cracks, hum and static when connecting the netbook to an amplifier and to a mains adapter, that is a common problem of ground loops and not of that particular netbook, that will be easily solved by adding a small audio transformer in between.
