For reference, a drift of one second per day is approximately 11.57 ppm. Left uncorrected, even a drift this small between two audio outputs will be audible after a short time.
It's not unusual to have resend requests, late packets and even missing packets if some part of the connection to the Shairport device is over WiFi.

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.
