That’s basically my use case. Want to use my HTPC as the source and some RasPi’s or repurposed thin clients as the sinks - pretty much what I do now with MPD and Snapcast. I absolutely do not want to have to mess with audio offset settings in Emby to keep the dialog in sync. lol
I’ve only skimmed the docs (holidays are a huge time sink haha), but do you know if it can do one-to-many or just one-to-one? Like, can I have one source and multiple receivers? The docs seemed to imply it could do one-to-many, but I didn’t get to dive into them deep enough.
Sorry for the late reply.
I don’t know if ROC can do multicast on its own. I use the Pipewire source and sink. And I only do the one-to-one setup.
I did some tests in Pipewire:
Configuring multiple sinks is possible on a machine. They simply present as additional output devices. So if you want to switch audio to another source, that should be doable by switching to another output device.
Doing one-to-many: I don’t know if that is possible with ROC alone. You might be able to do something with Pipewire graphs
