Version 2.9.5.7 – Development Version
----
Version 2.9.5.7 contains general bug fixes and enhancements for some special situations.
+
**Bug Fixes**
+
* Getting delay and latency information from the `alsa` subsystem has been improved -- bugs fixed, error codes handled better, arithmetic handling (hopefully) better.
* If latency information is temporarily unavailable from the `alsa` subsystem, skip trying to synchronise until the next time.
* Some condition variables and a mutex were uninitialised, yikes! Fixed.
* A bug that set the output volume to maximum at the same time as muting the output has been fixed. AFAIK, this was inaudible, but it was scary looking.
* Recover from name collisions in Avahi.
* Detect and handle empty buffers better.
+
**Enhancements**
+
* Turn off synchronisation. This is an advanced feature and generally leads to buffer underrun or overrun.
* Set `alsa` buffer size and `alsa` period size. There are advanced features, mainly for debugging. They may be removed.
* Change the Zeroconf/Bonjour `regtype` to enable Shairport Sync to continue to run but to be invisible to AirPlay clients. Special purpose usage only.
