Temporary Audio Idea

[Sam0r]

Right, i'll work on it now

[Sam0r]

BTW the winamp/shoutcast idea you were talking about WOULD work, but i used to run a shoutcast radio station, and theres almost a 2 minute lag.. not really practical.

Just installed the SoundFlower drivers on my PearPC, and it installed fine, and seems to be working, only problem ive found so far is that the mouse cursor stops dead whenever a sound begins playing.

I'll report back when i've worked a little more on it.

This was talked about on emaculation.com

They seemed to laugh at the thought of this approach. Hopefully we may be able to come up with something.

We've got further..

We actually have acess to the sound control panel, plus i can move the audio volume slider up and down

I'll contunie working on it tomorrow, night night guys

Yes... I've been searching quite a bit for a complete shoutcast like solution... Only shoutcast doesn't work on osx. (At least not the winamp DSP plugin...) I think I may go find some OS X forums and ask there.

couldent you run a realvnc server on the osx install and the client on windows? Sure it would prolly lag a bit (read alot) but it has the ability to transport sounds played on the server system to the client system.

Of course the better way to do this would be to get stuck into the source of vnc and look into the way it transports audio from host to client.. Works though!

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ <-- acts as server and client.. will work on most OS's and supports various stream systems. Will prolly find that latency will be almost non-existant with the "LAN" being uberfast

I tried VNC last night, bit without the sound..

I never knew VNC supported sound!

have a look at that..

I'm not sure how we'd get the sound from that to the client, but it's still worth a look

RealVNC is for windows and linux only, doesnt run on OS X, and the only VNC that DOES run on OS X (called OSXvnc) doesnt support sound.
