• Externalization: supported

snapcast is a multiroom audio distribution system made of a central snapserver plus one or more snapclient receivers. This Freetz-EVO package is a binary-first port intended for manual setup on embedded targets.

The packaged feature set keeps the core embedded use case: ALSA output for snapclient, FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis support, and OpenSSL-enabled networking. Upstream features that would add noticeable dependency weight on the box are left off in this first port.

Included feature set⚓︎

• snapserver and snapclient upstream binaries in one package
• default snapserver.conf installed under /etc
• shared web and helper assets under /usr/share/snapserver
• ALSA output backend enabled for snapclient
• FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis codec support enabled

Deliberately disabled upstream features⚓︎

• mDNS discovery via Avahi
• Opus codec support
• PulseAudio, JACK, PipeWire, and SDL2 backends
• upstream tests and manpage/pixmap payload at install time

Practical usage⚓︎

This initial Freetz-EVO port does not add a dedicated CGI yet. Configure snapserver through /etc/snapserver.conf and start the binaries manually or from your own local service wrapper.
