NAME
       jack_netsource - Netjack Master client for one slave

SYNOPSIS
       jack_netsource [ -H hostname ] [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       jack_netsource The Master side of a netjack connection. Represents the slave jackd -dnet in the master jack graph.  Most connection parame-
       ters are configured via the netsource, and the slave will set itself up according to the commandline option given to jack_netsource.
       Netjack allows low latency audio connections over general IP networks. When using celt for compression, it is even  possible  to  establish
       transatlantic links, with latencies not much over the actual ping time.
       But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can achieve one jack period of latency.

OPTIONS
       -h this help text

       -H slave host
	      Host name of the slave JACK

       -o num channels
	      Number of audio playback channels

       -i num channels
	      Number of audio capture channels

       -O num channels
	      Number of midi playback channels

       -I num channels
	      Number of midi capture channels

       -n periods
	      Network latency in JACK periods

       -p port
	      UDP port that the slave is listening on

       -r reply port
	      UDP port that we are listening on

       -B bind port
	      reply port, for use in NAT environments

       -b bitdepth
	      Set transport to use 16bit or 8bit

       -c bytes
	      Use CELT encoding with <bytes> per period and channel

       -m mtu
	      Assume this mtu for the link

       -R N
	      Redundancy: send out packets N times.

       -e
	      skip host-to-network endianness conversion

       -N jack name
	      Reports a different client name to jack

       -s, --server servername
	      Connect to the jack server named servername

       -h, --help
	      Display help/usage message

       -v, --version
	      Output version information and exit

EXAMPLES
       run a 4 audio channel bidirectional link with one period of latency and no midi channels. Audio data is flowing uncompressed over the wire:
       On hostA:

	      jackd -d alsa
	      jack_netsource -H hostB -n1 -i4 -o4 -I0 -O0

       On hostB:

	      jackd -d net
