Shairplay does not use the hardware mixer (at least with my external Raspberry Pi DAC) and as a result the volume is very low.
This fix inserts the 'mixer_control_name' setting in shairport.conf. Notably, the 'mixer' variable is exported in
airplay_emulation/index.js
(line 150) but not yet used in the config file.Please include this fix -- or at least a commented line (
// mixer_control_name = ...
) in the config file to give a hint on how to set the hardware mixer.
