Yeah, I have a music collection on a read-only network share.... it has folder.jpgs so why can't iTunes see it?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info. I wasn't actually aware there was an Airtunes 2 protocol. I presume that what I've implemented already in pulseaudios RAOP stuff is the Airtunes 1 protocol?

I can imagine it's not a fun job reverse engineering stuff :(

There would certainly need to be a rewrite in C to fit in with pulse. I'd be happy to work on this, but obviously there may be business reasons why you cannot share the relevant information to allow me to progress.

If you have any info you can share it would be greatly appreciated but only if it fits in with you corporate policy etc.

Anyway, I am always around on IRC (#pulseaudio) and various other places online, so if you guys ever want to go down this route, just let me know and I'll do my best to help out.

All the best

Col

Hi Paul. Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm not sure I really understand what you are saying here tho'... I presume you have some kind of protocol for connecting Machine A to Machine B in terms of sharing their audio devices. Essentially, if I run Airfoil Speakers on my linux box (Machine B), this should show up as an available Speaker system if I run Airfoil on Machine A (a Mac)?

What I was proposing was to essentially replace the Airfoil Speakers application on Machine B with a native pulseaudio module. As most linux distros are now shipping pulseaudio by default, this would be a nicer option IMO and would help to make things "Just Work".

Please let me know if this would be at all possible?
