I have Pulseaudio on my Linux Box and have enabled the RTP stream. I want to use VLC Media Player on Windows (although the platform shouldn't matter) to connect to the stream and play it on my Windows box. What URI do I use?

Please consult the Pulseaudio documentation for Pulseaudio specific information.

Code: Select all

rtp://@multicast_address:port
If I'm not mistaken PulseAudio uses RTP L16. You'll need VLC 0.9.0 or more recent for that.

That's done it. Thanks.
There's a latency of about 1.5 seconds (as would be expected), but it works great.

--rtp-caching <millisecs>
It's 1000 (1 second) by default, but lower values should work fine on a LAN.
