Hi @pwt, I'm wondering why 1000:1000:f is used as the default latency here when 1000:2000 is suggested in AirConnect's readme for Sonos.

Hi @polyzen. It's just based on experience, really: I've used AirConnect extensively in multiple network environments and I find that latency settings of 750:750:f provide very reliable buffering with Sonos. I make it 1000:1000:f as the default for the Docker image just to be conservative.

You can adjust this back to the recommended defaults using -e LATENCY='1000:2000' (or whatever else you wish) on the Docker command line to start the container. See the 'Other configuration settings' section in the README.

The :f parameter just makes sure that silence frames are sent if the incoming stream is interrupted. This is to mitigate against the speaker closing its connection if there's a temporary interruption on the sending side.

Just wanted to leave some feedback - thanks for this! Worked exactly as expected and I didn't have to write the Dockerfile or build the image!
