</div>I have been looking into this setup myself for my Pi. I have no<br>
hardware squeezeboxes. I used squeezeslave for a while but when I<br>
downloaded SqueezePlayer for my phone and tablet from the Google play<br>
store I found that SqueezePlay and squeezeslave would not play well.<br>
I never found the sync to be great between two squeezeslave machines<br>
either (often one would get up to 30 seconds or more behind the<br>
other).<br>
<br>
I then found squeezelite. Again, I don't have hardware players, but<br>
between multiple instances of itself and between it and SqueezePlayer<br>
on the android devices, it has all gone well.<br>
<br>
I plan to use my Pi as a squeezelite player, hooked up to some kind of<br>
stand-alone amp for playing audio on outdoor speakers. Whether I<br>
actually get that little project of the drawing board is another story<br>
though :P<br>

FYI, the problem with sync is often buffer sizes. In general, the smaller and cheaper your hardware (with smaller buffers) the better sync will work.<br>
