Is there ANY way to send audio from linux to AirPlay speakers? (I am NOT asking about making Linux an airplay TARGET, which is what Shairport-sync does.) Pulseaudio reportedly used to claim to support it, but there are many reports of people trying and none of anyone succeeding.

Sure, same setup for PulseAudio or for PipeWire, iirc.

Btw, consider moving to PipeWire instead as it's the preferred a/v daemon these days.

I've been using this project for a few years https://owntone.github.io/owntone-server/

That looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks, I'll give it a try!

If you can stream your audio via Google Cast, there are a few Cast -> Airplay bridges. I have one of these running on an RPi (I believe [1]), and it's been pretty much fire and forget.

That is something lets you become an Airplay device. I want to send audio to an Airplay device.

RAOP Discover is currently at the point «It just works until it doesn't» (like most things zeroconf). Behaves fairly reliably in my experience if you don't mind some latency.

Roon runs on linux and supports AirPlay and AirPlay2. Not free, but is excellent.
