Raw
stream_sound_linux_to_windows_pipewire.md

Windows (receiver) side:

ffplay.exe -nodisp -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -flags low_delay -fflags nobuffer -framedrop -analyzeduration 0 -probesize 32 -max_delay 0 -f s16le -ch_layout '2 channels' -i udp://0.0.0.0:18181?listen=1

Linux (transmitter) side:

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=remote


# re-encode
ffmpeg -f pulse -i "remote.monitor" -ac 2 -c copy -tune zero_latency -fflags nobuffer -ar 48000 -f s16le "udp://RECEIVER:18181"

# no re-encode
ffmpeg -f pulse -i "remote.monitor" -ac 2 -c copy -tune zero_latency -fflags nobuffer -f wav "udp://RECEIVER:18181"
(might needs change of codec/properties on receiving side)

pavucontrol # Change the default output to the Null sink or move single applications to this "output" device.
