forked-daapd is an iTunes-compatible media server, originally intended as a rewrite of Firefly Media Server (mt-daapd).
It supports a wide range of audio formats, video streaming to iTunes, has support for Apple's Remote iPhone/iPod application and can stream music to AirTunes devices like the AirPort Express.
It also features RSP support for Roku's SoundBridge devices.
I started working on forked-daapd after I took over the maintenance of mt-daapd in Debian and realized how bad the code was and that it was basically not possible to salvage much of anything. To add insult to injury, mt-daapd had been unmaintained for two years already at that point (and still counting).
forked-daapd obeys to a number of carefully selected design goals and I usually try to use the best technology available for any task so long as it meets my design goals.
forked-daapd is available in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution starting with Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 "Squeeze".
