Hello all,
I wanted to turn your attention to a really cool project I found while
browsing the internet: Network-audio-controller
<https://github.com/chris-ritsen/network-audio-controller>.
It is a CLI-based alternative to dante controller that I recently got to
try out at my workplace where almost every speaker array we have is
implemented with dante. With this python program, I was able to view
other dante devices on my work's network. It can also apparently make
connections as well, though I didn't have success with that with my
couple of minutes of testing.
As one of the only Linux users at my workplace, it was really cool to
set my computers NIC to link-local, join the network, and view the audio
devices and its connections.
Anyways, check it out if you're interested and know you can at least
view your dante network and connections if you are a Linux user.
Thank you very much for your time,
Brandon Hale

That is a good find, I have not been able to get Dante Controller to run
under WINE. Other people have success with WINE, but it is not obvious
what is different about my installation.
How did you install network audio controller? PIP? I tried cloning the
git repository and running using the given instructions using poetry, but
got an exception on startup when the python code attempted to import a
module which is not present in the repository.
I tried switching to the last tagged version, thinking that perhaps there
was some half uploaded development version as head, and a tagged version
would have a better chance of running reliably, but selecting tag 0.0.10
on GitHub results in this message:
"This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may
belong to a fork outside of the repository."
Having tags that can't be found and a non-running head revision doesn't
give me a lot of confidence that this is a project with a lot of activity
or users, but would potentially be very useful.

To install, I used pipx:
pipx install netaudio
Pipx also asked to add its folder to my path in .bashrc with this:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/username/.local/bin"
I can then just run the program netaudio from bash. I don't remember if
there were any modules needed. If it helps, I'm on Arch Linux.
I think it may not be a "super polished tons of people working on it"
codebase, but it is a base with some valuable information. The technical
details
<https://github.com/chris-ritsen/network-audio-controller/wiki/Technical-details>
page has some really cool dante network debugging info too that could
help others eventually create a fully-featured polished version. :)
