Hi! I thought i take it for a spinn and try it against my XBMC machine and my Denon-1912, and got some mixed results. First i thought i test it by running another pulseaudio server on my machine and use tunnel-sink to connect my "regular" server to the server with the new raop-module in it, but that didn't really work. Something with the raop-module doesn't really behave when a tunnel sink is feeding it. Later i tested to run a real client against it, and that works quite well! Occasional stutter, maybe once a minute, when running against XBMC, but stutter every 10 seconds or so when running against the Denon receiver. Looks like XBMC uses libshairport and it might be a interesting project to write a module using that to receive raop to pulseaudio? //Anton -- Anton Lundin
