Hi, I would like to make you aware of a new open source (GPL3) project (that's fairly far along) based on pulse. pas (Perry's audio server, I'm Perry) seems to be a little different from those that my limited research has turned up. While the ones I found emit digital data to be rendered on remote machines, pas is intended to sit next to a bank of amplifiers powering multiple concurrent zones (in the old fashioned way). Of course, I have no doubt pas duplicates other projects I have not seen yet. pas is very lightweight, running at least three (that's all the USB DACs I have) streams on a $50 ARM board. I believe it might be capable of streaming a dozen or more. There's a retro curses based client now with something more modern in the works. It would be absolutely wonderful if anyone here were motivated or interested enough to be a collaborator. Mention on the pulse website would be great! Please see github <https://github.com/pkivolowitz/pas> for the project itself. A summary follows: - pas is Linux based. - pas is heavily multithreaded and likes multicore machines. - pas is written to be headless. UI's are supported via a socket-based Google Proto Buffers 3 API. - audio is emitted using pulseaudio via USB DACs. - audio is decoded using ffmpeg so pas supports those formats supported by ffmpeg. - data is maintained using MySQL. - pas *may* someday expose a MPD-compatible interface as the pas API is quite robust. - pas is being developed on an odroid XU4. - pas is being developed using an audioengine D3 USB DAC, a DragonFly Black from AudioQuest and a Fiio DAC. It would be absolutely wonderful if anyone here were motivated or interested enough to be a collaborator.
