6 years ago still using shairport-sync to play music to other sinks/computers meanwhile i setup this things several times with different distros and versions of libpulse (11.1 on Arch) with and without the raop2 version - and i think since the stock pulseaudio seemed to have worked from a point on, i am quite sure the living room stereo mini pc (chip) runs a non raop2 version of it with shairport-sync if you are interested in a specific combination, i can check. the main issue (this bug) i had with pulseaudio grabbing sinks and not releasing them for minutes sometimes
just setup a cubieboard a20 with shairport-sync and it works fine with libpulse 7.1 with your raop2 (it fails with the libpulse 8.0 (https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/issues/227 ) - so well done guys!!
however, when i have my workstation on, pulseaudio grabs the sink for itself for quite some time even after finishing using it (when i try to play something from another machine running osx itunes->sink, the sink reports it is used by someone else, so not given free)
should it not be giving the device free when not using it?
