   <description>
-    <p>Shairport Sync plays
-    audio streamed from iTunes
-    or from an AirPlay device to an ALSA-compatible audio output device (available on
-    Linux and FreeBSD), to a "sndio" output device (available on OpenBSD, FreeBSD and
-    Linux), to a PulseAudio output stream or to Jack Audio.</p>
-
-    <p>Shairport Sync offers full audio synchronisation.
-    Full audio synchronisation means that audio is played on the output device at exactly
-    the time specified by the audio source.
-    This means that if many devices are playing the same stream at the same
-    time, all the outputs will stay in synchrony with one another.
-    This allows multiple devices to play the same source without getting out of step with
-    one another, enabling, for example, simultaneous multi-room operation.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>Shairport Sync can stream synchronised audio to a unix
-    pipe or to standard output, or to audio systems that do not provide timing
-    information. This could perhaps be described as partial audio synchronisation, where
-    synchronised audio is provided by Shairport Sync, but what happens to it in the
-    subsequent processing chain, before it reaches the listener's ear, is outside the
-    control of shairport-sync.</p>
-    <p>Shairport Sync can be compiled to stream metadata, including cover art, to a pipe
-    or socket.</p>
-    <p>Shairport Sync can be compiled to offer a standard MPRIS interface, a "native"
-    D-Bus interface and an MQTT client interface. Through these interfaces, it can provide
-    metadata, including cover art, and can offer remote control of the audio source.</p>
+    <p>Shairport Sync plays audio streamed from an AirPlay or an AirPlay 2 device.
+    AirPlay 2 support is limited, and AirPlay 2 from iTunes for Windows is not supported.
+    
+    Please see <url href="https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync"/> for details.</p>

-    <p>For example, if a mixer has a minimum volume of -80 dB and a maximum of +20 dB, you
-    might wish to use only 60 dB of the 100 dB available.
-    This might be because the sound becomes inaudible at the lowest setting and unbearably
-    loud at the highest setting --
-    indeed, many domestic HiFi systems have a volume control range of just 60 to 80dB.</p>
-    <p>Another potential use might be where the range specified by the mixer does not
-    match the capabilities of the device.
-    For example, the Raspberry Pi's DAC that feeds the built-in audio jack claims a range
-    of 106 dB but has a useful range of only about 30 dB.
-    The setting allows you to specify the maximum range from highest to lowest.
-    The range suggested for the Raspberry Pi's built-in audio DAC, which feeds the
-    headphone jack, is 30.
-    Using it in this case gives the volume control a much more useful range of
-    settings.</p>
-    <p>As a third example, you can actually extend the range provided by a mixer.
-    Many cheaper DACs have hardware mixers that offer a restricted attenuation range.
-    If you specify a volume range greater than the range of the mixer, software

-    <p>For example, if 40 dB of attenuation is required  and the hardware attenuator
-    offers a maximum of 30 dB, then the hardware attenuator will be set to give 30 dB

-    <p>Unfortunately, certain hardware attenuators will mute at their greatest
