Cool thing to do with a ubports device - remote sound player
-
Say I have a computer and speakers that are on the other side of the room, can't connect to them through aux as I don't have a cable this long. No problem! As long as both the computer and phone are connected to the same local network, you can connect your phone to the aux of speakers and send audio from your 'puter:
Run this command on your phone:
pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl='127.0.0.1;192.168.10.0/24' #replace with your local rangeIt'll open pulseaudio on port 4713 of your phone. Now on your computer:
pactl load-module module-tunnel-sink server=<PHONE_IP> sink=1Your phone will now be listed as one of the sinks on the computer. You can easily use pavucontrol to redirect sound from specified programs to your phone. You can use the phone speakers themselves or connect to speakers via aux. Haven't tested bluetooth yet.
On my network there unfortunately also was some sound tearing, but for me its bearable. Tried to recreate sink with
latency_msec=400 adjust_time=0parameters and it kinda helped though, I think that one has to play around with these parameters or some other options in pulse, I'm no pulse master unfortunately.
