about it, but past that I cant seem to find anything on it. I am
looking for a solution to allow me to connect and stream audio in
realtime over firewire to a Mac Mini to run some VSTs on until VST
support in Linux is worked out completly. Thanks.
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.
