Hi there. I’m the developer of Shairport Sync and I just want to clear up a
misunderstanding. Shairport Sync was developed from shairport specifically for
use with the alsa back end. I realise that it works with the pulseaudio backend
from the original shairport, but that’s just good fortune, to be honest. It
does not use latency information coming back from pulseaudio. Maybe someday :)

Kind regards
Mike
