  Open Source over the ear headphones designed by Taylor from Reboot.love

Ooh this looks great! I designed a pair of nice 3D printable headphones [1] and my plan was to make them Wifi headphones so I could roam the house while listening to them. I made a battery powered raspberry pi zero with a nice DAC and set up shairport sync as an Apple Airplay device. That works fine for Spotify, but there’s instances (watching videos while walking in and out of the office) where the latency is a problem. Maybe this will work for me!

  Start jamming online easily with a Raspberry Pi, an audio interface, and this free Jambox image file. Just download/burn/boot/jam. Choose from multiple jamming apps: Jamulus, SonoBus, JackTrip, JamTaba, JammerNetz or HpsJam. User interface is any web browser on same local network. Pre-built image file is available under "Releases".

Yes, there are plans for a headless standalone version on platforms where people want that. You can actually do it right now with Jambox pi dist, which includes SonoBus: https://github.com/kdoren/jambox-pi-gen

  Synchronous multiroom audio player

That makes sense - I believe by default snapcast has a 1000ms buffer.

I wonder if you can't grab the latency correction factor from snapcast in real-time, and somehow apply it to you video stream as well? This has been raised before it seems [1], and in another issue, the snapcast author recommends looking at RTP based streaming instead of snapcast [2].

Seems like snapcast may not be ideal for this after-all :)

  Web Client for Jellyfin

  

I think parent says that +/-200ms is acceptable for snapcast, but unacceptable for lip-syncing.

I am not sure snapcast can't sync down to a few ms. If so, the issue would be syncing video with the audio clients, which certainly sounds feasible if integrated in the video player. That's what jellyfin does: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/1011 (I tried to help a bit with that one).
