shairport-sync turns the box into an AirPlay audio receiver with ALSA output. The Freetz package is intentionally trimmed to the embedded use case: ALSA backend, OpenSSL, metadata support, tinysvcmdns, and a small status-cache helper for the live Freetz status page.

On compatible targets, selecting the package also auto-selects the exposed ALSA USB audio driver stack. This makes USB DAC setups practical without extra manual driver selection.

Freetz integration⚓︎

• optional shairport-sync-cgi package for configuration and daemon control in the web UI
• generated runtime config via modlib_config
• metadata FIFO reader feeding the live status page with title, artist, album, client and playback state
• startup model tailored for the Freetz init and status registration flow
