2 How send audio/video data over the net?
3 =======================================
4
5
6 Just some pointers where to look. I haven't tried everything myself.

8
9 still images (webcam)
10 ---------------------
11
12 You can use the xawtv's webcam utility (in the webcam subdirectory) to
13 capture single frames and upload them to a (web-)server using ftp.
14
15 There are plenty of other tools for that purpose, http://freshmeat.net
16 has a list.
17
18
19 both audio and video
20 --------------------
21
22 You can use video conferencing tools, see http://www.openh323.org. That
23 should even interoperate with M$ Netmeeting. I've heard there is a
24 project named "gnomemeeting" ...
25
26 You might want to have a look at videolan (http://www.videolan.org).
27
28 Using the mbone tools (i.e. vic for video, vat or rat for audio) works
29 too, see http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multimedia/software/
30 Drawback is that these two work independent of each other, that's why
31 there is no way to make audio and video sync properly.
32
33
34 video only
35 ----------
36
37 xawtv works with a remote display. Eats plenty of network bandwith as
38 the X11 protocol is not optimized for streaming video. Can be used to
39 max-out ATM cards. Don't even think about it with something slower
40 than Ethernet.
41
42
43 audio only
44 ----------
45
46 Use some network sound daemon, esound for example:
47 sox -w -c 2 -r 44100 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp -t raw - | esdcat -r 44100
48
49 Check out http://freshmeat.net, IIRC there are some tools to multicast
50 audio data.
