Diretta and Memory Player #8

Hi Sam, thank you for your work. I don't know if you know Diretta. I suppose I am. The designer of this protocol is currently working on a player that bypasses alsa and promises to be of excellent quality. My first question concerns the use of a Diretta box, which requires a driver to be installed. Of course this integration is only interesting if ArchQ users are using Diretta. Links to the project and a test: https://www.diretta.link https://help.diretta.link/support/solutions/articles/73000635690-os-sound-driver-support https://patatorz.com/2024/05/05/diretta-memoryplay-le-lecteur-dans-son-plus-simple-appareil/

Have a good day ;)

Diretta releases the linux kernel compiled with Diretta driver for Gentoo Linux. ArchQ needs the source code of the Diretta driver to compile with the kernel, using Gentoo a good choice for Diretta.

Hi, thanks for your reply. It seems that the developer (Yu) is making the packages available.

curl -OL https://www.diretta.link/preview/DirettaSalsaHost.tar.zst for the drivers, which actually have to be compiled curl -OL https://www.diretta.link/preview/MemoryPlayHostLinux.tar.zst to download MemoryPlayHostLinux (nothing to compile, just choose the version) curl -OL https://www.diretta.link/preview/MemoryPlayControllerSDK.tar.zst to download MemoryPlayController

GentooPlayer is certainly an interesting platform but, as soon as I can, I'm going to dig into the Arch track that I enjoyed with your Rpi4 images. ArchQ seems simple and effective. I've also heard of CachyOS for its work on kernels and latency. MemoryPlayer seems un good way..

This is Diretta box driver(alsa_bridge.ko) for ArchQ Q441 kernel. You can download the file and auto extract it as below command. wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sam0402/ArchQ/main/pkg/DirettaSalsaHost-Q441.tar.zst | tar -I zstd -xvf - then ./rewrite.sh gcc12_x64_v1 to install the driver. Hope this driver works well.
