It also works on a standard Ubuntu laptop. It works well with built-in audio and with a variety of USB-connected Amplifiers and DACs, including a cheapo USB "3D Sound" dongle, a first generation iMic and a Topping TP30 amplifier with a USB DAC input. Shairport 2.0 compiles and runs pretty well on the built-in sound card of a Raspberry Pi model B under Raspian. Due to the limitations of the sound card, you wouldn't mistake the output for HiFi, but it's really not too shabby. -USB-connected sound cards work well, so long as the wired Ethernet port is not in use -- WiFi is fine. -However, driving any USB-based audio output device is glitchy if you are using Ethernet at the same time. It works, but it's very glitchy. This seems to be due to a known problem -- see http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23544 -- and it will hopefully be fixed in a forthcoming update to Raspian. -Shairport 2.0 runs well on the same hardware using OpenWrt in place of Raspian and then it works properly with Ethernet. +USB-connected sound cards work well, so long as the wired Ethernet port is not in use -- WiFi is fine if the network is not too busy. However, driving any USB-based audio output device is glitchy if you are using Ethernet at the same time or if you're on a busy WiFi network. It works, but it's very glitchy. This seems to be due to a known problem -- see http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23544 -- and it will hopefully be fixed in a forthcoming update to Raspian. +Shairport 2.0 runs well on the same hardware using OpenWrt in place of Raspian and then it works properly with both Ethernet and WiFi. Shairport 2.0 runs on Ubuntu and Debian 7 inside VMWare Fusion 6.0.3 on a Mac, but synchronisation does not work -- possibly because the soundcard is being emulated.
