Suggestion for alternative to snapcast

[Rowr21]

Hello!

After some time running LVA as a service I came back to try the picompose, and it worked very smoothly for me!

With the recent developments in Music Assistant, and the new sendspin protocol, I think it makes sense to develop an alternative to LVA+Snapcast. I also use the FutureProofHomes Satellite 1, and a great fork of which introduces sendspin instead of snapcast, see HERE. Would this be something you're willing to explore too? Happy to help in any testing with my 2 x 2mic hats.

This opens up the possibility of keeping up with the great sendspin developments and giving a great option for light, multiroom audio.

Thanks a lot!

I would be very interested in this as well. I've tried to use the Snapcast sample and install Sendspin into a container but I constantly run into issues with ownership of the audio pipeline. I'm using a 2 Mic Pi Hat on a Pi Zero 2w. I can make one or the other work but not both at the same time.

I've been fighting it so long and this solution is so close but I can't get to finish line :(

Hi, yeah i am also currently looking into it and want to move on to sendspin. I am currently just not sure if we should use a docker container with sendspin or use the python library that would be integrated in LVA directly.
