© 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 uses ALSA, therefore you need to have ALSA library and headers available on your platform. In standard Linux distributions, ALSA library package is usually named libasound(X) and header files come in package named libasound(X)-dev.
vban_receptor is distributed with autotools build scripts, therefore, to build, you need to invoke: $ ./autogen.sh # probably only once for ever $ ./configure # with or without options $ make # with or without options
To install, simply invoke: # make install
