Oh, thanks for clearing that up about audio-only. I would think it would be possible to have 2 machines running it maybe needing to use different ports for the two machines. Anyway, thanks for looking into it. And of course, as soon as a new unstable version is available I will install it as soon as possible and report back if any issue is solved.
