This branch -- "master" -- is the stable branch of Shairport Sync. To access the development version, please switch to the "development" branch. -More Information +More Information ---------- Shairport Sync works by using timing information and timestamps present in data coming from the audio source (e.g. an iPhone) to "play" audio at exactly the right time. It does this by monitoring and controlling the *latency* — the time between a sound frame is supposed to be played, as specified by its `timestamp`, and the time when it is actually played by the audio output device, usually a Digital to Audio Converter (DAC). Timestamps are measured relative to the source computer's clocks, the `source clock`, but timing must be done relative to the clock of the computer running Shairport Sync, the `local clock`. The source and local clocks are synchronised, usually to within a fraction of a millisecond, using a variant of NTP synchronisation protocols.
