I'm working on mLAN support, but my main focus is on streaming audio
to/from hardware devices.  It will be a while before what you're looking
for is supported.  I don't even know if the OSX mLAN drivers support it
(though, in principle, the Linux PC could pretend to be an mLAN hardware
device...)

mLAN uses IEC 61883-6 for its streaming.  You can find 61883-6 drivers
at http://mlanalsa.sourceforge.net/ and http://freebob.sourceforge.net/
but you'll have to do a lot more work to get things going.  Neither of
these will do any of the connection management that is required.

Cheers,
Jody
