Shairport Sync works on a wide variety of Linux devices. It works on standard Ubuntu laptops, on the Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Wheezy and Jessie, Arch Linux and OpenWrt, and it runs on a Linksys NSLU2 and a TP-Link 710N using OpenWrt. It works with built-in audio and with a variety of USB-connected audio amplifiers and DACs, including a cheapo USB "3D Sound" dongle, a first generation iMic and a Topping TP30 amplifier with a USB DAC input. It will not work properly — if at all — with a PulseAudio (pseudo-)output device. Shairport Sync runs rather well on FreeBSD using either the ALSA or `sndio` sound systems – see [FREEBSD.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/development/FREEBSD.md) for a note on bulding for FreeBSD.

Shairport Sync runs well on the Raspberry Pi on USB and I2S cards. It can drive the built-in sound card, though the audio out of the card is of poor quality – see the note below on configuring the Raspberry Pi to make best use of it.
At the time of writing, OpenWrt trunk does not support USB audio well on the Raspberry Pi.
Shairport Sync runs on Ubuntu, OpenWrt, Debian, Arch Linux and Fedora inside VMWare Fusion on a Mac, but synchronisation in inaccurate — possibly because the sound card is being emulated.

Shairport Sync will output to `alsa` cards, to standard output and to pipes using appropriate backends. You can try compiling additional backends in as you wish, but it definitely will not work properly with them. Maybe someday...

---------------------
The following procedures will install the shairport-sync application into your system. Before continuing, you should check to see if shairport-sync is already installed – you can use the command `$ which shairport-sync` to find where it is located, if installed. If it is installed you should delete it – you may need superuser privileges. After deleting, check again in case further copies are installed elsewhere.
To build Shairport Sync from sources on FreeBSD please refer to [FREEBSD.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/development/FREEBSD.md).
To build Shairport Sync from sources on Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, etc. follow these instructions.
