hi.
netjack-0.12 is released.
Netjack is a jack-driver which uses the network card. On the other end

of the network there is a normal jack-client.

So its possible, to share a single soundcard between several laptops.
This release finally handles the packet disordering UDP does.

Thus high channel counts can now be achieved. However a 24ch in/out

link over 100Mbit gave me a major "net xrun" storm on vanilla 2.6.15

kernel. At a roundtrip latency of 2.9ms that is. It was reliable with

5.8ms.

16 channels gave me some "net xruns", which i could not hear though.
i expect this performance to increase when using an rt-kernel with the

network-irq set to rt-prio.
So please report back.
Additionally to the audio transport, netjack provides sample accurate

transport syncronisation. The roundtrip latency is compensated for.
get it while its hot at:

there is no link on http://netjack.sf.net because the project shell

servers are down.
