it is so so so cool to hear some music playing in my lounge room, and then on my desktop run `systemctl --user start bark-receive`, and hear the exact same thing out of my computer speakers.

The stream source is hooked to line-in on the lounge room server, so it can cast to the network anything playing from my cheap little spotify/airplay/bluetooth/etc stream box, or the Apple TV, or my FM radio even.

The latency added by Bark is basically imperceptible too!

@hailey next level: Hack sonos to install Bark in it. (IMO, it seems possible unless they blown up secure boot fuses)

Anyway, Thanks for the software.

I'll try to cross compile it into mips-unknown-linux-musleabi and run it in my old smart speaker (ReSpeaker gen1)

@hailey this does sound like an ideal solution for multi room audio. Thank you!

Have you tried it on a raspberry pi? If so does it work okay on the pi?

Hailey

@martin I have not, but I imagine it would work fine! it doesn't use that much CPU on the mac minis I have it running on right now

Martin Whitaker

@hailey I'll have a play and let you know!

It's hard to believe there isn't a standard already defined for this purpose... Thanks again for coming up with it!

@hailey is that all ethernet devices? How does wifi do? How big is the jitter buffer/input latency? The project sound exactly what i was searching earlier! Thanks for sharing!

@dunkelstern @hailey Wifi does _terribly_ since it'll be stuck at 6 Mbit/sec max
