 If you run `$sudo make install`, `shairport` will be installed along with an initscript which will automatically launch it at startup. The settings used are the most basic defaults, so you will want to edit the file `/etc/init.d/shairport` to give the service a name, use a different card, use the hardware mixer and volume control, etc.

-The `-L` setting is for the amount of latency -- the units are frames, with 44,100 frames to the second. Although 99,400 frames  is slightly more than two seconds, it sounds good -- YMMV.

 Shairport has default latencies for these two types of sources: 99,400 frames for iTunes and 88,200 for all AirPlay devices -- iPods, iPads, iPhones and Apple TV.
 
-You can set an iTunes latency with the -i or --iTunesLatency option (e.g. -i 99400 or --iTunesLatency=99400). Similarly you can set an AirPlay latency with the -A or --AirPlayLatency option. If you set a latency with -L it overrides both the AirPLay and iTunes latency values. Basically, you shouldn't use it except for experimentation.

 Shairport 2.0 actively maintains synchronisation with the source. 
 If synchronisation is lost -- say due to a very busy iTunes host or a very congested network -- then Shairport 2.0 will mute its output and resynchronise. The loss-of-sync threshold is a very conservative 30 ms -- i.e. the actual time and the expected time must differ by more than 30 ms to trigger a resynchronisation. Smaller disparities are corrected by insertions or deletions, as described above.
