I use Pulseaudio to send my audio to a different computer where i have a sound system plugged in,
|
|
and i switch between computers with sound stations.
|
|
|
|
This howto will help you to create you'r own OSS Network audio sender and receiver.<!--more-->
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### This is what i do on each receivers (servers)
|
|
You might want to change **10.0.0.0/8** to your own IPv4 subnet you want allow to send audio.
|
|
|
|
mkdir $HOME/.pulse
|
|
cp /etc/pulse/default.pa $HOME/.pulse
|
|
echo "load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;10.0.0.0/8" >> $HOME/.pulse/default.pa
|
|
pulseaudio --kill
|
|
sleep 2
|
|
pulseaudio -D
|
|
|
|
#### On the sender (client)
|
|
On the client i create multible configurations, change **<name>** to your name you want. (like home/company/friend).
|
|
|
|
mkdir $HOME/.pulse
|
|
cp /etc/pulse/client.conf $HOME/.pulse/client-nonet.conf
|
|
cp /etc/pulse/client.conf $HOME/.pulse/client-<name>.conf
|
|
echo "default-server = 10.167.160.103:4713" >> $HOME/.pulse/client.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Receiver switch script (on the client)
|
|
I use this script to change between receivers, sometimes i need to call it twice to work.
|
|
|
|
mkdir $HOME/bin
|
|
source $HOME/.bashrc
|
|
|
|
cat << 'EOF' > $HOME/bin/pulseswitch
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
if test -z "$1"; then
|
|
echo "USAGE: pulseswitch [nonet|<your-config>]"
|
|
exit 1
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
echo "Switching to \"$1\"."
|
|
/bin/ln -fs $HOME/.pulse/client-$1.conf $HOME/.pulse/client.conf
|
|
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill
|
|
/usr/bin/pulseaudio -D
|
|
if [ "x$1" = "xnonet" ]; then
|
|
echo "Unloading the net module."
|
|
/usr/bin/pactl unload-module module-native-protocol-tcp
|
|
else
|
|
echo "Loading the net module."
|
|
/usr/bin/pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp
|
|
fi
|
|
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill
|
|
/usr/bin/pulseaudio -D
|
|
EOF'
