Hello everyone,
I was wondering if its possible to just create a "virtual" sound card using alsa which will just sent its audio stream to other computer (using TCP/IP or UDP for example). On the other end there would be some kind of server (or just nc -u -l -p 31337 | aplay ). I want to do it on alsa layer because other aps using alsa will get immediate support.
It should be something like described in
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Network
but with transparent support for all alsa based applications. I dont care about syncronization or transmission delay. Any pointers as how this could be done in alsa ?
If anything in kernel space, I'd suggest we have Audio-Over-Ethernet(AOE). Audio-Over-IP(AOIP) isn't much useful for commercial application requiring low-latencies, besides that can be done from User-Space like PulseAudio.
