Just some PCM audio, 16 bit, BE, stereo, 44 khz or similar. Pretty standard. Consider playing around with the module-rtp-send parameters to change the format we send our data in. When I wrote that module I tested it against mplayer, hence I am sure there must have been a way to get mplayer and PA work together.

I know that I got the SAP stuff to show up in VLC, but I also remember that I didn't get VLC to play anything. As we send our data in a pretty standard format there should be easy for VLC to add support for uncompressed audio. Consider filing a bug upstream. > I'm all out of other player options; nothing else in Debian Etch or Ubuntu > Feisty seems to support multicast RTP. There's a tool called "dumprtp" in the dvbstream package. You can use it to build UNIX pipelines.
