Is it possible to use Dissonance without networking?

[friuns2]

Dissonance.zip Is it possible to use Dissonance without its networking? Just for encoding and decoding i want to send packets directly without additional Dissonance networking layer

I tried to make some loopback test, but get errors packet arrived is very late, Can you help me?

        WaveFormat waveFormat = microphone.StartCapture(null);
        enc = new EncoderPipeline( waveFormat, new OpusEncoder(AudioQuality.Medium,FrameSize.Medium,true), null);

        // MyDecoderPipeline dev = new MyDecoderPipeline(DecoderFactory.Create(new FrameFormat()), new WaveFormat(), new OpusEncoder(), null);

        {

        _sessions.PlayerName = "asd";

        AudioSource.mute = false; // Muting should be done through the player object, not the source
        AudioSource.priority = 0; // 0 is the **maximum** priority! Dissonance cannot handle...
    }

Dissonance isn't really designed to make this easy. Most of the complex things that Dissonance does for you are in the networking system, so I would really strongly advise to use that if at all possible!

If you do want to do this anyway, you can still build a custom network system for Dissonance but instead of using the base classes (BaseServer/BaseClient etc) you can instead implement ICommsNetwork. You can implement this however you like and the rest of Dissonance will work as normal (e.g. you don't need to replace the microphone or playback systems). This isn't a use case I can provide much support for though.

It's been a while so I'll close this discussion, feel free to re-open it if you have more questions :)
