Question about snapserver config

[ovizii]

I've mapped your default snapserver.config and was looking at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badaix/snapcast/master/server/etc/snapserver.conf for what parameters are available, but can't seem to figure out what this is meant to do:

[stream]                                                                                                                                             
stream = tcp://0.0.0.0?name=Snapserver

Your README says:

Config
You can overwrite snapcast's config by mounting a file to /etc/snapserver.conf in the container. The default settings create a single stream called "Snapserver" which listens on a TCP socket on port 4953 (this was previously a fifo), and enables [SnapWeb](https://github.com/badaix/snapweb) on port 1780. See the [Snapcast docs](https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/blob/master/doc/configuration.md) to create your own config.

Does this relate the above stream? I'm confused about why the snapserver should listen on a TCP socket on port 4953 – this port is not mentioned in your compose files nor did I figure out what for this server would listen on this port?

Could you please shed some light onto this

Hi there,

Thats how audio data makes it from Mopidy to Snapcast - Snapserver listens on that tcp socket and mopidy connects to it, and sends audio data through.

Hope that helps :)

Seems obvious in retrospective :-) thanks for being kind in my blonde moment.
