a more device independent way of doing this, but one
that implies sample
rate conversion going on, is to use zita-a2j to allow JACK to use more than
one device. With current JACK1, this is even builtin to JACK itself and can
be done from the command line.
Another way is to use the soundcard of a a second computer and link
the two using zita-njbridge. If the connection is via a LAN and
Jack on the second PC is only lightly loaded you can actually
achieve the same latency as with zita-ajbridge. This is so because
njbridge assumes the worst case: the transmitter running near the
end of its Jack cycle. If that is not the case you can set the
extra buffering in zita-n2j to zero and still have some headroom
for network delay.
At my new workplace (*) I've ported njbrigde to OSX and Windows.
So we can now exchange full quality multichannel audio with low
latency between Linux, OSX and Windows machines in any combination.
(*) Since some people have asked: I'm now in Munich and working
on 3D audio at the European Research Center of Huawei.
