I have written a little audio playback app (using Qt and ffmpeg, plus a corresponding server) that can stream audio somewhat similar to AirPlay, but with a much more simple custom protocol. And now I have also packaged it in AUR (note that these are my first AUR submissions - just a fair disclaimer, I do think they are fine and I have tested them here).
If you want to try it out and are not using PulseAudio (see end of post), here are the instructions:
Install and run Mapla on the receiving system. It will print out on which port it is listening on (default 19671 when unprivileged).
$ Mapla
Listening on port 19671Install and run Alpela on the sending system. Click "Settings", enter the IP of the receiving system and port as Output device (e.g. 192.168.0.5:19671), click OK.
Open the audio file to play (with ⏏ or drag'n'drop).
A warning though; sadly the PulseAudio Alsa plugin seems to be quite buggy and this won't work well with it at all. It should work nicely on pipewire (via pipewire-alsa) as well as raw Alsa hardware devices however.
Hope you enjoy.
