I am considering on of the Mac minis for HTPC duty (running Gentoo), however it
won't be powerful enough to do DRC with brutefir so I need to route audio
accross a dedicated network using jack.udp to an audio only PC. This will
introduce some extra delay - the send and receive buffers for jack.udp and the
1024 samples delay in my brutefir setup - so I need a way to delay the video
for live TV and recorded programs and have this amount stored as a default
value. (Ideally the delay would be removed when rewinding and fastforwarding).
I use brutefir.
A better method would be to hook the two machines up via spdif or some other digital link. Get the second machine to convolve the spdif input to output.
To compensate for the delay, hack the audiooutputxxx function to add some extra samples to the GetAudioTime function
However, I think you might be happier if you try to make everything work on one box. The overhead of brutefir is not that large if you don't need obscenely low latency. I have it on very low latency using 10% of my P2.8. If you lowered the latency then it would be more like 1% or less
