#print(json.dumps(server.streams[0].properties, indent=4))print(server.groups)
awaitasyncio.sleep(10)
test=loop.create_task(testloop())
# add callback for client #0 volume changedefmy_update_func(client):
print(client.volume)
server.clients[0].set_callback(my_update_func)
# keep loop running to receive callbacks and to keep background task aliveloop.run_forever()

See example.py for a basic working example.
