|
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.
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 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'
