Well here's the situation.
We live with 3 students in 1 apartment. Everyone has a computer.
We have a spare PC, and the plan is to place it in the kitchen, and connect it to the stereo, that's collecting dust right now...
We have a switched 100Mb network, and we have the PC connected to it.
Now this is what it's all about:
we want to be able to hear whatever sound comes out of our soundcards (of course one of our PC's at a time). So if i'm cooking, i want to be able to listen to the same music in the kitchen as on my room. And with lowest possible latency, so it's completely synchronized.
We control the PC in the kitchen with PCDuo. So how do we cast our soundcard output over the network to the kitchen PC?
I tried winamp with a sync plug-in, but that's rather complicated, since you need to make the exact same playlists on both broadcaster and kitchen PC. Another disadvantage of the Winamp system is that you only can listen to MP3's, not to the line-in (which I use very often).
I hope you guys/girls understand me, and that the explanaition was clear enough (english isn't my 1st language)
Thank you very much in advance....
