After reading that last post about the
distributed studio[1], it
made me think of how network transfer of 40 channels of audio into
and out of up to 6 machines is possible.
As a simple test, I wired 2 machines over a 10/100Mb connection,
private network, 1 router and 1 switch. I fired up the tools as
described in the how-to[2] then opened up xmms, wired it to netjack
(on the client) and routed the server netjack to my main outs...
sounded great! until I noticed xruns occasionally.
So I guess my question is simply: is netjack2 really that capable
and if so, what are the tweaks involved to get seemless audio using
it.
Does anyone here use netjack2 ... and if so, what is the primary
purpose?
are you running the slave jackd with -S ?
thats necessary.
[insert some random bitching about netjack2 here]
Just closing this topic off in case someone stumbles upon it from an
internet search: I monitored my network traffic and found mountd
transmitted, I think every 20s, from port 771 to 2049 and that
coincided with my xruns. I umounted my 2 NFS drives and haven't had an
xrun since -- at least not with 2 channels.
Actually, I re-open it!
I use netjack2 for weird purposes which doesn't share any audio stream,
actually. Only MIDI and jack_transport sync, finally.
Though, I sometimes get xruns, which can be stopped by unloading the
netmanager, and relaunching everything on the slave machine (which runs
with the -S mode), and then reloading netmanager.
Couldn't find what it came from.....
Maybe try replacing NetworkManager with wicd?
