Airfoil is a great piece of software that I use for playing music on all the computers and iPhones in my house. This weekend I tried to install Airfoil speakers on the Unbuntu machine in my workshop and ran into trouble. Long story short, I needed to replace the installed DLLs with those of the Windows client. This works because DLLS are .NET libraries and run on Mono on Ubuntu.
I’ve packaged the DLLs here so you don’t have to find a Windows machine to install Airfoil speakers on.

Thanks, my installation of airfoil speakers under ubuntu 10.10 was crashing and now works fine.
It worked for me.

Superb. Thanks. Much better than an instant crash-on-connect!

would anyone be willing to offer a zip with the dlls, I don’t have a windows machine and I can’t get inside the .exe, even with wine. my email address is techaddict666@hotmail.com

Hey,
worked for me and my Mythbuntu 10.10 64Bit Edition. Thanks a lot!

Worked for me (Ubuntu Squeeze – XBMC Live) ! Thanks a lot.

Actually, the only one you need to copy across apparently is mAlac.dll, to /usr/lib/airfoilspeakers
…that said, something about my Ubuntu 10.10 x64 setup is flummoxing it; while it connects and appears to work, doesn’t play any sound at all. Highly annoying, especially as that Wine apparently won’t work for the Win version of Speakers.

|dan November 13, 2011

|lj November 19, 2011
I copied across is mAlac.dll, to /usr/lib/airfoilspeakers.
|Is that it? Because it didn’t work for me. It crashes.
