Adrian,
This is not limited to transferring audio over a network. This is also
about managing several workstation/distributed systems and external
gear. Audio streams are just one part of the picture.
I have never
understood why D-Bus was even considered for a network-wide
audio session system.
Just curious: I wonder who's using network audio. Much
of Linux Audio
is related to this "network" stuff, but I've never seen it anywhere
else. I've been in several studios with tons of
expensive equipment, however,
all this stuff was packed in a single room, usually around a decent
mixing console or a computer with multichannel audio I/O (ProTools,
Tascam, RME, whatever).
Big consoles already use GBit Ethernet to connect their bits and pieces,
and manufacturers are seeking solutions that allow interoperability.
Nobody ever used a plugin on a remote system. Nobody
ever used a remote
I/O.
You probably just haven't seen it yet :)
I am very much looking forward to connect my first PoE powered
microphone to the network and have it pop up in ardour.
