From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I guess AirPlay is not possible due to Apple’s DRM.
not sure how relevant these may or may not be, but there are some client device implementations
The repository you linked has sadly not been updated in 9 years
while true, it would be more about the protocol and stuff.
You’re right, but the AirPlay protocol has been updated in the past 9 years. I found something called UxPlay and it works pretty well. https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay
Neither AirPlay nor Chromecast is open source.
It seems to support Chromecast though
Isn't chromecast based on Miracast?
It's certainly not based on Miracast. Chromecast is built around applications running on the Chromecast itself while Miracast is merely a combination of WiFi Direct and a video stream.
Google does offer SDKs for Chromecast for a wide range of devices. You can program the thing to play a video through Javascript, so it's probably not very difficult to add Chromecast support once you've got the video stream stable and running.
Yeah, I've been trying to work out a multi room audio system and its been...
Well, tough.
Snapcast?
