Tino, I tried to submit a patch to the mailing list last year (around April/May), but I think the attachment was too big, and it was never posted.
The patch I submitted had some bugs, which I later fixed, but the machine I was making those changes on (which was where I was backing everything up to), had its disk go bad (I should have been backing up my backup). I'm still hoping I can recover something from the bad disk, but I haven't had any time (or the necessary hardware) to do anything about it. I took my patch, and got it to work with a recent version of MPD about a month ago. Git has proven itself smarter than me, and I can't figure out the proper way to get a patch from it, but I've attached the output of 'git show', which I believe should be enough information. The biggest bug right now relates to pausing. If you pause for too long, it won't close the output correctly, and it will blow up. (I had fixed this before, and I think I ended up improving some other things with that fix, but that work is gone.) It doesn't gracefully handle all failure scenarios when trying to initialize the output device. I use MPD with this RAOP support to stream music off my NAS to multiple Airport Express units. Unlike other RAOP stuff out there, this supports the newer version of the AirTunes protocol which keeps the audio in sync. The changes to support this weren't too major, but figuring out what to change took me a while. Hopefully, you or someone else will find this useful and can make improvements to it.
