I have been trying to find a way to play sound from my
Mac OS X laptop using the speakers on my Linux PC. I
installed JackOSX on my Mac, including the Netjack
module to send sound across the network. I have also
installed Jack on the Linux PC, but I am unsure how to
use your netjack code to receive the transmissions from
the Mac. The way I think it is supposed to work is as
follows:

itunes (Jack INPUT on Mac)
-> NetJack (Jack OUTPUT on MAC)
-------------NETWORK--------------
-> NetJack (Jack INPUT on Linux PC)
-> ALSA driver (Jack OUTPUT on Linux PC)
-> speakers

I assume, from your README file, that my Linux PC is
the slave machine, so I need to install the jack_net.so
file there. However, I have no idea how to install it.
I copied it to /usr/local/lib/jack/, the same directory
where jack_alsa.so was installed - but then what? How
do I get Jack to load the driver? What port should I
specify for the transmission from the Mac?

Matthew.

    sorry. netjack OSX and netjack Linux are not the same software.
    we were not aware that the already was netjack osx, when we registered
    the name.

    there will be some reunification, when i find the time.
    i am currently improving the algorithms, and can not support a second system
    at this time.

    but i hope you can expect that during the next couple of months...

    Sorry for the late reply...
    NetJack Linux and NetJack OSX are two different things.

    this netjack however should also run on osx...
