[linux-audio-user] [ANN] netjack-0.12 - Low Latency Network Audio Driver

hi. netjack-0.12 is released. Netjack is a jack-driver which uses the network card. On the other end of the network there is a normal jack-client. So its possible, to share a single soundcard between several laptops. This release finally handles the packet disordering UDP does. Thus high channel counts can now be achieved. However a 24ch in/out link over 100Mbit gave me a major "net xrun" storm on vanilla 2.6.15 kernel. At a roundtrip latency of 2.9ms that is. It was reliable with 5.8ms. 16 channels gave me some "net xruns", which i could not hear though. i expect this performance to increase when using an rt-kernel with the network-irq set to rt-prio. So please report back. Additionally to the audio transport, netjack provides sample accurate transport syncronisation. The roundtrip latency is compensated for. get it while its hot at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=140191 there is no link on http://netjack.sf.net because the project shell servers are down. -- torben Hohn http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language
