soundbox is a small Raspberry Pi based device with a micro USB power input and
two cinch connectors as audio output. It can be used to connect classic audio
systems to a WLAN.

Music or other audio content can be streamed to the soundbox device. Using
multiple devices allows to build up a multi-room audio setup.

Currently there is no official client software. Streaming with tools like
[ffmpeg][1] is the only supported way at the moment.

To solve this issue the [soundbox-app][3] is currently in development. The Go
library [soundbox-go][2] is already usable.
