Hey guys, I was toying with the idea running a Squeezelite-only ecosystem utilizing several existing Win7 & 8 machines I currently have running (I need to run WMC to get my copy-protected cable channels so Linux on these is a no-go). Running Squeezelite on these machines, I've had tons of sync issues. Different start times (somewhat mitigated w/ setting an audio delay in settings, but not ideal), small drift during songs, and very large drift when resuming from pause. I've read this thread and see that the Windows audio stack is not ideal for sync due to the lack of control of the buffer. As a cheap solution, I was thinking of just getting a few Raspberry Pis and running them next to my PCs (powered off the PCs usb). Would a RPi-only network (without any actual SB hardware) handle sync fine? I see that Triode has stated that sync consistency is way better on linux than Windows. I'm tempted to wipe a few of my laptops and install linux to test this out, but figured that if people are already running this setup, it might be easier to just ask. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
