Note
----
-The functionality offered by Shairport Sync is the result of lots of study and analysis of the AirPlay 1 and AirPlay 2 protocols by many people over the years. These protocols have not been officially published, and there is no assurance that Shairport Sync will continue to work with AirPlay in future.
