Is there a way to setup audio renderer (sink) [SOLVED]
I use volumio but that's dedicated OS installation and it's limiting in the sense of what other things can be done.
I'm looking to setup streaming to HTPC. What r my options?

[EDIT] [UPDATE] now I understand why information was so lacking - because solution was just that simple. 😑
In gnome settings -> sharing -> enable media sharing.
Don't need extra app or setup.
