[AVT] Pro audio, Ethernet, etc ...

[lazzaro <lazzaro at eecs.berkeley.edu>]

Hi everyone,

	Of interest to AVT pro-audio folk -- the
latest Logic release came out today (Digital
Audio Workstation software ...), with new
support for sending audio streams from machine
to machine over IP (GigE or Firewire Layer 2) to
make real-time (not off-line) rendering clusters.

	No idea if its RTP or a proprietary protocol on
top of IP.  The fact that its IP-based instead of Layer-2
based is a hopeful sign of the direction industry may
take, as is the fact that it works on normal Ethernet cards
and does not need specialized Layer-2s.  For details see:
