Shairport Sync on FreeBSD
----
Shairport Sync now runs "natively" on FreeBSD using the \*BSD-specific `sndio` back end.
Shairport Sync runs natively on FreeBSD using the [`sndio`](http://www.sndio.org) back end, thanks to the work of Tobias Kortkamp [t6](https://github.com/t6).

This is an initial note about installing Shairport Sync on FreeBSD.

The build instructions here install back ends for `sndio` (originally developed for OpenBSD) and ALSA. ALSA is, or course, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, so it is not "native" to FreeBSD, but has been ported to some architectures under FreeBSD.
