Squeezelite on Fedora

I've found squeezelite to be superior to SqueezeSlave, specificially for player synchronisation.
The install is as simple as downloading the (i386) binary from here.

Because I prefer to run this as a service, and because I found no example startup scripts online, I wrote my own.  I'm no expert at this sort of thing, so it may well not work on your machine, but it should be just a case of a few small tweaks.
