NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       jack_netsource  The Master side of a netjack connection. Represents the
14       slave jackd -dnet in the master jack graph.  Most connection parameters
15       are  configured  via  the  netsource,  and the slave will set itself up
16       according to the commandline option given to jack_netsource.
17       Netjack allows low latency audio connections over general IP  networks.
18       When  using  celt  for  compression,  it  is even possible to establish
19       transatlantic links, with latencies not much over the actual ping time.
20       But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can achieve one  jack
21       period of latency.

EXAMPLES

85       run a 4 audio channel bidirectional link with one period of latency and
86       no midi channels. Audio data is flowing uncompressed over the wire:

90              jack_netsource -H hostB -n1 -i4 -o4 -I0 -O0
91
92       On hostB:
