Individual Volume for Airplay Speakers

This looks like a great piece of software.

I'd like to be able to control the volume of each speaker, is this possible?

Connected to forked-daapd which supports this via iTunes remote etc..

I second that - ympd is about the perfect partner for forked-daapd, except the ability to change output volumes.

A quick look though the MPD protocol at http://www.musicpd.org/doc/protocol/ suggests that volume is set at a global level via the setvol command. You can enable/disable a given output, but individual outputs don't have their own volume.

I won't put words in the author's mouth (maybe they know something I don't,) but I don't personally see a path to implementation given the MPD protocol.

Assuming that protocol change was added (I support that 100%) and forked-daapd added it to their MPD protocol support, then we could definitely see it become at least possible in ympd.

Here's hoping that protocol change goes through!

I just wand to say that foked-daapd already uses individual setting of loudness per speaker. So an implementation would make sense....
