Comment (by coling):

 Actually, I have to take back the "working fairly well" comment. I ran
 into issue last night when I actually tried to use it (as opposed ot just
 develop it). Something to do with memory pools and allocating too much.
 I'll need to look into it :)

 As for building, it's not really a simple job sadly. It does touch on a
 couple of other files so the module on it's own is not actually
 sufficient... (librtp.so will defo be needed as will (IIRC)
 libpulsecore.so but generally I wouldn't recommend it).

 Personally, I have my system pulse installed and I've just done the
 following to install this at the same time. I've not tested this since the
 git migration so apologies if this doesn't work 100%. I'll also be setting
 up some personal git repos for this in due course and continuing
 development on that (this is standard git workflow). I'll let you know
 when that's done.

 {{{
 git clone git://git.0pointer.de/pulseaudio
 cd pulseaudio
 git checkout origin/coling
 cd airtunes
 ./bootstrap.sh --prefix /usr/local/pulse/ (or any folder of your choice)
 make
 sudo make install
 cd /usr/local/pulse/bin/
 ./pulseaudio -k
 ./pulseaudio -vvv

 < other terminal >
 pactl load-module module-raop-discover
 }}}


 That should do it, but like I say I've had some issues using it
 practically (moving streams via pavucontrol + amarok2), but setting
 PULSE_SINK and running mplayer on command line has been OK.

 Hope this helps.
