It's a bit funny how the best way to stream audio between two Linux boxes is Airplay with shairport on the server and the raop2 PulseAudio Plugin on the Client.

It's a bit funny how the best way to stream audio between two Linux boxes is Airplay with shairport on the server and the raop2 PulseAudio Plugin on the Client. It integrates well into the Desktop too and is automatically discovered!
It's funny because PulseAudio could do network streaming itself, but as it still streams the uncompressed PCM stream afaik, it's pretty useless in practice.
- codethief 8y agoAdding to this, DLNA from Linux (pulseaudio-dlna) to a Raspberry PI is also a lot slower than the using AirPlay in the way you described… :| (By "slower" I mean that there's a significant delay.)
- SSLy 8y agoWe're using the PA PCM method in our student association. Works good enough.
- pantalaimon 8y agoI reckon you have everything connected over Ethernet then?
- SSLy 8y agoNo, WiFi.
