It seems that it would be useful to have a "sound level" RPC in the PA protocol for things just like a vumeter. Surely it's much more efficient for the sending side to send "sound level" measure- ments than to send the actual audio stream for the receiving side to simply measure. > It looks like also all the sinks and sources from a third computer > "jenny" are forwarded to the laptop, further contributing to the > bandwidth. Heh. Yup. It's an audio free-for-all here. :-) > Do you still see excessive bandwidth usage with pavucontrol (and > possibly other programs) closed? No, I don't. Things are wonderful now. :-) I would like to be able to keep pavucontrol open though, obviously without the vumeter penalty, hence my suggestion above. Many many thanx for your persistence in this Maarten. I really do appreciate it. Cheers, b.
