Yes, pulseaudio should make a good solution to your problem. There are several ways of doing it though, which various pros and cons. I suggest you start with pulseaudio's rtp-send and rtp-recv modules and take it from there. > 2.So I have to install one server with pulseaudio, but which programm I > take for the clients (Alsaplayer?)?

You can ask pretty much anything you want here as long as it's pulseaudio related. If you want more interactive help I suggest you join us on IRC. There are usually one or two willing helpers hanging out there. > 5. All the time I read about low latency, but do you have a value? Less then 10 ms?

The latest pulseaudio and most of the related software is now in debian unstable and should reach debian testing soon. -- CJ van den Berg mailto:cj at vdbonline.com xmpp:cj at vdbonline.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
