10.4: Fun with Audio Units
Authored by: devnevyn on Aug 19, '07 05:18:15PM

I can't believe I forgot to add the best part. To stream audio from one machine to another; streaming machine (the machine that will you want to stream audio from):

  • Set output device to Soundflower
  • Open AULab and use Soundflower as input device for a new document
  • On the input channel, add the effect AUNetSend.
  • Mute the master channel. Done.

On the receiving (the machine with the speakers) machine:

  • Open AULab and create a new document (settings don't matter)
  • Edit -> Add Audio Unit Generator; add a AUNetReceive
  • Configure the new AUNetReceive to connect to the streaming machine. Done!

This method has some serious problems though. First off, the streamer is the network host, and not the receiver, which feels a bit backwards and makes network configuration difficult. Secondly, AUNetSend has a tendency to sometimes stall for a short period of time, and then not compensate, so that all the audio gets lagged. It does this now and then, so that if you don't regularly disconnect and reconnect, you end up with minutes of lag.
