📄 Description

Description

Adds support for using an existing avahi-daemon for mDNS service registration instead of the built-in mDNS responder. This is useful for:

Embedded systems where a single mDNS daemon is preferred
Avoiding port conflicts with other mDNS services
Integration with system service management

Configuration:

zeroconf_backend: avahi  # Options: "builtin" (default), "avahi"

Or via command line:

go-librespot -c zeroconf_backend=avahi

Compatibility:

Avahi 0.6.x and later (uses stable D-Bus API)
Tested with Avahi 0.7 and 0.8
