streaming audio from clients to server

Hi folks,

I am looking for a method in which I can stream audio from a device mac/win to the server which is connected to the good sound system over the local network.

I have looked at pulseaudio and followed the directions in the wiki, but without any results
This was a linux to linux setup. But it seems to only get worse when trying to stream from mac/win (found these pages)
https://labitat.dk/wiki/Apple/Mac_OS_X#PulseAudio

So what I am looking for here is either a thorough tutorial/directions or a plug n play solution.

Any inputs, links or directions are greatly appreciated, since I have spent this entire weekend researching it, and failed horribly every time

Re: streaming audio from clients to server

hmm its simple and it sort of works. Their is very little documentation as far as I can see.

I start server by commiting rsd -D -v

then stream some audio by cat sound.wav | rsdplay -s 127.0.0.1 --raw -r 44100 -c 2

It sounds very sluggish, and it also tells me that Only 8 or 16 bit WAVE files supported.

Also it looks like the last update was a OSS patch which was mentioned in the original thread over a year ago
