So, I am having an issue with zita-j2n ...
I have a setup for streaming audio across my home network. There are two
Linux boxes involved, both running Arch Linux; both are connected by
Ethernet to the router (well, actually the broadband modem, which serves as
a router). One is my desktop computer (which I will call the client), the
other is a headless media server (which I will call the server). The client
machine has headphones, and the server has speakers. I need to be able to
send the output from arbitrary sound sources on the client to either the
headphones or the speakers. So I have Jack running on both machines and
need to send audio from client-side Jack to server-side Jack. I also have
an Alsa loopback interface setup on the client, because I need to play
music from programs that don't support Jack - e.g Spotify or web-based
sources like YouTube and Soundcloud (BTW, I am a musician and sometimes use
pro audio software on my desktop system, but this particular setup is not
for that - it's mainly just for listening to music).
I had a version of this setup that worked fine for several years, but it
used Jack1 with the network backend. But a few days ago it stopped working
for some reason ... anyway, long story, but I decided it was time to switch
to Jack2. And I saw that Jack2's network backend isn't usable in the same
way, so I decided to try zita-njbridge.
So, I've more or less figured out how to do this, and have modified the
Python script that manages all the client-side components to use zita-n2j.
I can play music on the desktop machine and stream the output to the server
and hear it on the speakers. So, good. However, zita-j2n crashes frequently
(sometimes every 3-5 minutes) with the following message:
Fatal error condition, terminating.
I would like to find out what is causing these errors. The server-side
system seems solid: Jack and zita-n2j run continuously for several hours
with no apparent problems. So it seems likely that the cause of the problem
is either on the client machine or the network. Apparently zita-n2j doesn't
have a debug mode, so I don't know how to gather the info I need to solve
this. Any suggestions?
The Programmable Audio Workshop (PAW: https://paw.grame.fr/) is a yearly one day event gathering members of the programmable audio community around scientific talks and hands-on workshops. The 2022 edition of PAW will be hosted by the INRIA/INSA/GRAME-CNCM Emeraude Team at the CITI Lab of INSA Lyon (France) on December 3d, 2022. The theme of PAW this year is "Networked and Embedded Audio Systems" with a strong focus on spatial audio and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

Hey hey,
my latest song, a ballad mixing jazz, baroque and psychedelic elements:

OGG version:

This is mostly LinuxSampler with a touch of Yoshimi and of course setBfree.
The lyrics you'll find at the end of this mail, in case you'd want to. :)
It took a lot of production, but no special tools. It's a melting pot of
reverb with jconvolver for short ambiences, zita-reverb, g2verb and TAP plate
2x2.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
*** Lyrics ***
Safe and inclement,
Where the rain laden days are incessant.
Time has no significance.
And the seasons pass me by...
No pain, no luck to breach the sky.
-
Suddenly, it's spring.
Her name makes my heart sing.
She can't be here too soon.
Her kiss will make me swoon.
I watched as the days went by
Yet there was nothing to see.
The leaves of the calender turned,
But they held no meaning for me.
Tender smiles vanished into the void,
And gentle hands dropped away.
The day I almost missed my chance,
When I barely caught her final glance.
-
And suddenly it's spring.
Her name makes my heart sing.
She wasn't here too soon.
How her kisses make me swoon.
Safe and inclement
I will no longer be,
Since there is life and love to see.
-
'Cause suddenly it's spring.
Your name makes my heart sing.
You weren't here too soon.
Your presence makes me swoon.
