If at all possible, it'd be great to be able to build and run this on macOS. I'm not sure how much work would be involved to do that.

Hi @SystemDisc , I did quick search and saw that one hypothetical way would be to use PulseAudio on OSX and compile the vban programs with pulseaudio backend. About having a native macOS application using Core Audio, it is a bit out-of-scope of this open-source project, and you'll probably be more lucky with the vb-audio people.

Ok, thank you!

I started my own repo with the intention to support receiving and broadcasting audio using the VBAN protocol on all major desktop operating systems: https://github.com/SystemDisc/vban-universal

I also contacted vb-audio, and they said they may take the code used to create the iOS receiver and publish a macOS version.

Hi, nice ! I will put this link to the wiki.

Hello, Just an FYI for other that might want to try out vban on MacOS.

I just gave a try to use the provided vban_emitter and vban_receptor on a device running MacOS (Catalina 10.15.7). I installed vban with jack as a backend and I managed to get the vban_receptor to work. As others have already mentioned in different issues, and as confirmed by the main author, the vban_emitter is not working (although I didn't get the usual Fatal: Sorry jack backend is not ready for emitter yet error all the times; sometimes I got a segmentation fault)

Which vban are you talking about? The command in this github repository? Because that one (I thought) requires ALSA which does not exist on Mac? (I couldn't compile past the configure script's "Missing ALSA headers" error.) Or are you talking about the repo linked by user SystemDisc? Or something else?
