run a 4 audio channel bidirectional link with one period of
latency and no midi channels. Audio data is flowing uncompressed
over the wire:
On hostA:
jackd -d alsa
jack_netsource -H hostB -n1 -i4 -o4 -I0 -O0
On hostB:
jackd -d net
description
jack_netsource
The Master side of a netjack connection. Represents the
slave jackd -dnet in the master jack graph. Most connection
parameters are configured via the netsource, and the slave
will set itself up according to the commandline option given
to jack_netsource.
Netjack allows low latency audio connections over general IP
networks. When using celt for compression, it is even
possible to establish transatlantic links, with latencies
not much over the actual ping time.
But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can
achieve one jack period of latency.
