[Pipewire-devel] Fwd: Real-time question

[Ophiuchia]

Dear Wim,
Thank you for the information, this is very helpful.
Yes, the idea would be to exchange rt signals from (initially 2) devices
but with potential to add more nodes (similar to pro-audio that connects to
edge interfaces/speakers/etc via AVB/TSN).
(i) Is it possible to treat control signals as "audio streams" or is there
a need to introduce a new class of signals from the start?
(ii) What would be the best low-latency API to interface pipewire with a
client software? "Native" pipewire or maybe jack?
(iii) Focusing on non-TSN Ethernet to start, what is the best low-latency
Ethernet interface avaliable?
Thank you again,
Ophiuchia
