Re: [Jack-Devel] netJACK2 with two nodes

This is a slightly odd approach in some way. Computer B basically has nothing to do. All the hard work happens on A, and if the machine is overloaded, the sound will still be affected. Normally, you'd use this sort of design to spread the "load" around, but what you're proposing isn't really spreading any load at all. Any time A is overloaded, it makes no difference that B is running fine - the sound will still glitch.

Here’s what I want to do: – Both computers run Linux. – On Computer A, I can browse the web and see Youtube videos, I can listen to MP3 files with Totem and I can do DAW stuff with Ardour. – Computer B does nothing more than getting all the sound output from A and feed it to the speaker through it’s soundcard. Here’s my theoretical approach: – Both computers run JACK. – A runs PulseAudio in top of JACK. – A runs with the net backend using netJACK2. – B has the Net Manager loaded which gets the audio from A and pipes it to the soundcard. – Every time I boot the two computers, they are ready to work. No daemons I have to launch manually, etc. I want the configuration to be done one time for all. I got my understanding of JACK through the network from here: https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/WalkThrough_User_Net… And this site would also be my guide for setting up the thing. But I’m not a JACK expert at all. It’s the first time I’m doing something like this. So I want to make shure I got the basics right. And, maybe you now even a better step-by-step tutorial which does exactly what I want. So, I appreciate any comments on this.
