It is possible for JACK and PulseAudio to coexist: while JACK is running, PulseAudio can automatically connect itself as a JACK client, allowing PulseAudio clients to make and record sound at the same time as JACK clients. [36] PipeWire is an audio and video server that "aims to support the use cases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack".
PipeWire is a server for handling audio, video streams, and hardware on Linux. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It was created by Wim Taymans at Red Hat . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It handles multimedia routing and pipeline processing.
Nero MediaHome, a commercial software package containing both a UPnP client and server supporting music and video playback. MediaMonkey, free media player/tagger/editor with an UPnP/DLNA client and server. JRiver Media Center, a media player/organizer with a DLNA/UPnP server, controller, and renderer, including conversion.
On a low-end machine, such as a 600 MHz C3, the pulseaudio server can use 30% of the CPU. This converts a silent media-server from one which can (just) play DVDs into one which can't. Most pulseaudio-compliant applications such as mplayer will happily fall back to using ALSA natively if p.a. is uninstalled.
The Open Sound System (OSS) is an interface for making and capturing sound in Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It is based on standard Unix devices system calls (i.e. POSIX read, write, ioctl, etc.).
Lyrion Music Server also works with networked music players, such as the Roku SoundBridge M1001, although Logitech does not officially support these competing products. Chumby devices also support streaming music from a Lyrion Music Server, as does the Rio Receiver when running replacement software to emulate the SliMP3 device, although it is ...
Sound servers appeared in Unix-like operating systems after limitations in Open Sound System were recognized. OSS is a basic sound interface that was incapable of playing multiple streams simultaneously, dealing with multiple sound cards, or streaming sound over the network.
In computing, the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESD or EsounD) was the sound server for Enlightenment and GNOME. Esound is a small sound daemon for both Linux and UNIX. ESD was created to provide a consistent and simple interface to the audio device, so applications do not need to have different driver support written per architecture.
