App to Steam Live Audio Over LAN

MontecristoCigar · Dec 24, 2006, 05:16 PM

First off, let me apologize if this isn't directly related to kX, but I couldn't think of any better place to ask this question.

I'm in dire need of an application that will stream live, low latency, ASIO audio across a LAN.

After days of searching all I've found is AudioTX Communicator. It does exactly what I want, but isn't an option due to compatibility issues with a computer on the network.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Video LAN server / client ..?? have you looked into that - its cross platform and free.

Interesting suggestion! I've been using VLC for the longest time now for video playback having no idea it had streaming capabilities.

I'm trying it as I type this, but am having a hell of a time getting it working.

It seems like it's streaming allright, but I get no output or confirmation I'm even connected on the client side. I'll keep tinkering / reading tutorials.

Thanks for your reply.

EDIT: Well, I finally got it working, and I have tio say I'm impressed!

It works like a charm and the latency is so low I can't even tell there's a delay. Thanks again!
