Support for jack emitter wanted #52

Open akamaus opened 4 years ago

akamaus commented 4 years ago

Currently running vban_emitter -b jack results in following error message: Fatal: Sorry jack backend is not ready for emitter yet

Having support for it would allow live instrumental sessions over the network.

Hi @akamaus , yes this support would be really nice. In fact I dislike the way I did it for the receptor, and therefore don't want to repeat the same mistakes for an emitter implementation. Unfortunately, in general and especially in this period of confinement, I completely lack spare time to work on this. But this is in my todo list :).

I second the OP request. It would be great to have support for the jack backend for the emitter! Regardless, thanks for the nice work done with this repo.

Yep, well, as you observed, spare time has not improved since last year. But let's see how things evolve

Yes, Jack Support, especially with the new DEV running the latest JACK AUDIO CONNECTION KIT upgrades/updates, falkTX from KXstudio, higher performance, optimized, full Jack support for VBAN emitter/receptor would be fantastic

Using the VBAN protocol in the Jack mode under Jack or Pipewire would be a great variant to make an OpenSource althernative for the Dante. In PulseAudio mode the Emitter provides only 2 channels (it is enough to make some ear monitors from android smartphones, as we do, it works properly even with Wi-Fi), but it wold be fantastic, for example, to make two 18-channel broadcast streams from two Behringer XR-18's with the goal to make some independent realtime mixdowns on different computers and by different teams of sound ingeneers: for example, the FOH mix, some monitor mixes, stream mix, etc.
