pulseaudio network sink?

Hi!

first I would like to thank you for the site, it was very informative :)

I successfully installed media player daemon on my dockstar, which outputs music via a usb soundcard. Great!

I would like to be able to stream audio wirelessly from a linux laptop to the dockstar with pulseaudio, like what apple airport does. I searched but could not find anything. Has anyone succeded in that? Or is there any other way?

Thanks

Hi seb,

it's not Pulse, but VLC in conjunction with the netsync option works quite well for me: VLC Netsync
The server generates an UDP stream. One client or server itself becomes the master. The clients sync on the master. Nice for multiroom audio.

thank you mibu for the tip! I did not know vlc netsync. I tried it but will need more time to make it work. But before I spend more time on this, will this allow me to stream any audio (music player, web browser etc...) coming from my laptop like pulseaudio does?
