unusuable because of underruns

I tried this tonight and the server and client find each other instantly.
When running audio on the server, the client picks up the audio but playback is jerky at best.

To answer my own question:

If the client has pulseaudio running, it's needed to set PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60

[mrwhale]

Sorry to be a pain, where are you setting this setting? Within snapclient or pulseaudio?

[carnager]

it's a environment variable. just run the snapcast client with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 $yoursnapcast_command
