networkaudiod troubles + init script patch

[pms967]

Hi,

I had various troubles with "networkaudiod" on Gentoo (x64).

First of all, NAD does crash as soon as hqplayer tries to connect to it:
# networkaudiod_3.5.0-34_amd64_stretch
[networkaudiod_3.5.0-34_amd64_stretch] (4281): networkaudiod Copyright (C) 2011-2016 Jussi Laako / Signalyst. All rights reserved.
[networkaudiod_3.5.0-34_amd64_stretch] (4281): asoundlib version: 1.0.29
Illegal instruction

On 'dmesg' I get msgs like these:
[ 229.869430] traps: networkaudiod[2432] trap invalid opcode ip:55dd101541d8 sp:7ffe521437a0 error:0
[ 229.869441] in networkaudiod[55dd1011b000+65000]

[ 293.168147] in networkaudiod[555e9cbb4000+65000]

Eventually I found out that the only binary which works (at least, on my system) is the one from this "trusty" package:
https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/naa/linux/trusty/networkaudiod_3.4.0-29_amd64.deb

N.B.: of course this is just FYI and documentation... it's none of your fault.

I also had troubles with the init script failing to start the service (complaining about "missing pid file", etc). Also the log file was not written.

I have manage to get everything to work by modifying the init script this way:

My 2¢.
