NAME
jack_netsource - Netjack Master client for one slave
SYNOPSIS
jack_netsource [ -H hostname ] [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
jack_netsource The Master side of a netjack connection. Represents the
slave jackd -dnet in the master jack graph. Most connection parameters
are configured via the netsource, and the slave will set itself up
according to the commandline option given to jack_netsource.
Netjack allows low latency audio connections over general IP networks.
When using celt for compression, it is even possible to establish
transatlantic links, with latencies not much over the actual ping time.
But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can achieve one jack
period of latency.
OPTIONS
-h this help text
-H slave host
Host name of the slave JACK
-o num channels
Number of audio playback channels
-i num channels
Number of audio capture channels
-O num channels
Number of midi playback channels
-I num channels
Number of midi capture channels
-n periods
Network latency in JACK periods
-p port
UDP port that the slave is listening on
-r reply port
UDP port that we are listening on
-B bind port
reply port, for use in NAT environments
-b bitdepth
Set transport to use 16bit or 8bit
-c bytes
Use CELT encoding with <bytes> per period and channel
-m mtu
Assume this mtu for the link
-R N
Redundancy: send out packets N times.
-e
skip host-to-network endianness conversion

Connect to the jack server named servername
-h, --help
Display help/usage message
-v, --version

EXAMPLES
run a 4 audio channel bidirectional link with one period of
latency and no midi channels. Audio data is flowing uncompressed
over the wire:
On hostA:
jackd -d alsa
jack_netsource -H hostB -n1 -i4 -o4 -I0 -O0
On hostB:
jackd -d net
