I'm trying to find documentation on the wire protocol that the native-protocol-tcp uses, but haven't found it yet. Yes, I could Use The Source, but reverse-engineering the wire protocol from that vs. reading an already written definition of a protocol is not an efficient use of my time. And we all know that all Free software projects have excellent and complete documentation, right ;) ? If there is such documentation I'd appreciate a link, if not, then I'd like to know if the wire protocol is sufficiently fixed to make working out the wire protocol make sense. My need is that I have a signal processing hardware module that: 1) Makes audio 2) Accepts audio 3) Can speak TCP 4) I'd like to tie into a Pulseaudio server. 5) would be inconvenient to load all of Pulseaudio on. So if I could get the wire protocol it would not be hard to generate that.
