Lightweight Sendspin client based on the official Sendspin-cpp library

[TermeHansen]

I just want to share the small project I have build recently. SendSpin Client - a lightweight, easy-to-deploy audio streaming client that's perfect for small singleboard computers (RPi)

I had problems installing the official python based client on my rpi running debian bullseye, and started this project based on the example client from sendspin-cpp.

What it have so far is:

📦 Ready-to-Use Debian Packages

• Multi-architecture support: Built for amd64, arm64, armhf
• Multiple distributions: Debian Trixie, Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 26.04
• One-command installation: sudo dpkg -i sendspin-client
• Systemd service: Automatic startup and management

⚡ Lightweight & Efficient

• Minimal dependencies: Only what's essential for audio streaming
• Low resource usage: Perfect for Raspberry Pi, embedded devices, and headless servers
• Small footprint: Tiny binary with no unnecessary bloat

🔧 Designed for Real-World Use

• Automatic discovery: mDNS/zeroconf makes devices find each other instantly
• Hardware volume control: Direct ALSA mixer integration for precise volume management
• Flexible configuration: Works with config files, command-line args, or environment variables
• Production-ready: Complete systemd integration and logging
