Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Controlling where module-rtp-send sends multicast packets?

2008-02-15 Thread Chris Ribe
I'm more intrigued by the possibility of turning my dumpster bound PC hardware into something useful using PulseAudio. Work out the electricity and AC costs and you won't think they are so cheap. This node I working on right now is a 1.1Ghz Celeron laptop. Power consumption is probably

Ok, a laptop breaks the old pc concept a little. It is definitely the way to go. Its funny though, for me, 50 kw would cost a little over a dollar. My new core 2 duo server only pulls 65 watts while on, the old machine pulled 265! And to top it off my old machine had a power factor of ~55,

I thought about this route, but the issue is I don't want interruptions in the rooms already listening to music. Maybe if feed all four input sources into split out sinks (splitting each input into 4 null-sink outputs in the end), I could then attach the final sound card outputs on demand

Yeah, that would work. I wonder what the processing loads would be? I assume that the sync has to be maintained on all outputs for all streams, independent of muting state. It also may not scale should I want to add more zones, but that's a while off. No better way to know than to try it.
