[linux-audio-dev] ANNOUNCE: Linux Audio Cluster

Features planned: - Host distributing tracks/control (OSC?) info for processing on nodes - Nodes can be Linux, WinXP, (probably OSX) - up to 8 Nodes per 100MBit subnet - up to 32 Nodes per GBit subnet - roundtrip latency (audioin/host/node/host/audioout) below 6 ms (provided plugs do not add additional latency) - nodes work at up to 4x oversampling (which does add a bit of latency though) - support of Vst/Vsti on XP nodes (mainly used for DSP boards like UAD/Powercore), - support of Ladspa/Dssi (VST/VSti through wine) on Linux nodes - (AU on OSX?) - plugin GUIs are redirected to the host through a subnet distinct from the track/control net, so the ones of the XP(OSX) nodes can be made visible through VNC without disturbing the audio Participants welcome. Discussion open. Ralf
