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.
