Each caed(8) instance uses the ‘/var/snd’ data that is available on its own
local system. Hence, the remote system will not need to mount /var/snd in
order to play it.
There are a few additional caveats to be aware of:
1) For best results, you may also want to point the ‘HTTP Xport’ control to use
a studio-based system as well. RDAirPlay will work correctly without this, but
certain other modules —e.g. RDLibrary — use the RDXport service to do things
like generate waveform displays.
2) The remote system will need access to TCP ports 80, 5005 and 6006 on the
Rivendell systems.
3) The system running caed(8) will need to be able to send UDP packets back to
the remote system to ports 30000 - 30100.
Cheers!
