Audio played by a Shairport Sync-powered device stays synchronised with the source and hence with similar devices playing the same source. In this way, synchronised multi-room audio is possible for suitable players. (Hence the name Shairport Sync, BTW.) Shairport Sync runs on Linux and FreeBSD. It does not support AirPlay video or photo streaming.
