Audio fork

Audio fork is a little shell script letting you play your pulse controlled audio on a number of remote devices. Audio is re-encoded and transmitted with gstreamer sending it via UDP.

How to use

Run the server on the receiving side:

audiofrk server [host[:port]]

Run the client on the sender side:

audiofrk client [default-sink] host[:port] [host:[[port]] ...

Stop the service on any side with:

audiofrk stop

Dependencies

The following packages are necessary on Ubuntu/debian.

On both sides

gstreamer0.10-tools
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

On the receiver side

gstreamer0.10-alsa

On the sender side

Where I found the initial idea

gstreamer code comes mostly from http://stackoverflow.com/a/15570501/2331953
