Hey
everyone, I'm trying to get it set it up so I can work remotely on
my linux box from a windoze terminal over vnc and hear the audio via
icecast. I got icecast and muse working, listening through real player
on windoze. However, the latency is really high, about 10sec. I'm using
a AMD 64 3000 patched with low latency, and both ends have high speed
dsl connections. Can anyone tell me what to do to get the latency down
to a couple of seconds or less?
What have you set the buffer sizes to in icecast and
RealPlayer? That
kind of programs typically have very large buffers.
I couldn't figure out where
to do that for RealPlayer, or for icecast.
In icecast I turned off the burst thing. Is the queue size in the conf
file the same as buffer size?
Don't know about realplayer
Um, realplayer is closed source and definitely does not allow setting
the buffer size. This is likely to be a dead end.
Isn't there a workable non-proprietary alternative to stream audio over
the net?
