An AirSonos fork that actually works

AirSonos is a little server that allows AirPlay streaming to the Sonos devices on your network.

Install nodejs8, npm and some dependencies:

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt install -y nodejs libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libasound2-dev

Install airsonos globally via npm:

$ npm install -g jmtatsch/airsonos

Test if airsonos works as expected:

$ airsonos
