multiroom as server

[pschellenbach]

I am brand new to Moode Audio - installed for first time yesterday - but have been using Snapcast for several years. My current Snapcast setup is a Pi3B with Hifiberry DAC+ADC Pro running both Snapcast server and Snapcast client. I feed one of my AVR zone output to the analog input on Pi, then feed analog output of Pi to another AVR zone. I select the music source on the first AVR zone (vinyl, FM, Spotify, etc), then listen to speakers on 2nd AVR zone. I have three Pi-Zero W's running Snapcast client in various rooms. Everything syncs perfectly.

I want better UI and automation of my music setup so I am exploring Moode Audio. Looks promising except for lack of Snapcast support.

I'm certainly not a Snapcast expert, but may be able to help with the integration in Moode. Snapcast communicates using TCP (proprietary protocol & websockets for control). I don't think multicast is used. 

Snapcast server accepts input from a named pipe, stdout, tcp, asla, and more. I believe MPD, librespot and shairport sync are all supported as sources to the server, so hopefully the plumbing to feed Snapcast server from Moode would not be too complicated. UI is another story.

I briefly browsed the github repos but don't really know where to start. Are there any "get started" developer documents? Any help getting started would be appreciated.

Thanks
