Right now I have a Motorola Droid 3, but I'm willing to purchase new hardware for my testing. For right now all I care about is playback and the lowest latency possible and maintaining audio quality. Other Android features will not be needed. I also have easy access to some TI-based reference designs using the OMAP3630 if you think that would be a viable option. > > > Related to this project, has anyone measured or estimated what the > > lowest end-to-end latency of this system could be, assuming all parts > > are optimized at both end of the signal chain? > > Assuming decent ALSA drivers on your target device, the main variable > here is the wireless network.

I'll have complete control over a managed WiFi network, so once I'm streaming I can start playing around with the network config. Incidentally, can I stream from one source to multiple client devices, or is the connection strictly 1-to-1? Thanks. - Dave -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
