© 2015 Benoît Quiniou - quiniouben[at]yahoo(.)fr

vban_receptor is an open-source implementation of VBAN protocol. It currently takes the form of a Linux command-line player to play a VBAN audio stream to alsa local audio device. VBAN is a simple audio over UDP protocol proposed by VB-Audio, see VBAN Audio webpage.

Compilation and installation

vban_receptor doesn't have a configure script. Nevertheless the makefile is very simple and has some basic variables (CC, LD, STRIP, CROSS_COMPILE, DESTDIR) to define whatever compilation toolchain you wish to use and where you want to install. This will probably evolve in future releases. So simply use:

$ make
# make install
