Looking for a way to stream high quality audio.

Hey guys. I love the remote administration service www.logmein.com but the problem is they don't let you hear the audio of the computer you're using unless you are paying for a premium account. That's just too expensive.

I have tried almost every other remote administration program you can imagine, as well as comparing the audio quality of programs like teamspeak and ventrilo to logmein.com audio streaming(which I think is 128kb), and none of them compares. logmein also streams it with like only 1/4th to 1/2 a second delay.

Any of you guys know of a piece of software out there that doesn't have a renewing fee that can stream ultra high quality audio(not with voice codecs) with really short delays?

Eternal love and thanks to the person who knows of a solution!


EDIT: Delay actually isn't the greatest of concerns, as long as it's reasonable.

what is it that you are doing exactly? Maybe I can suggest an alternate (and better) solution.

are you using your phone or a laptop to connect to your desktop or something? WTH?

i believe you are able to do it with Window media encoder. i read about it along time ago because i wanted to stream music as well. though i still think you need a host.

Are you trying to stream all sound from your computer or just music?

For music you could setup winamp+shoutcast.

Yeah, what kind of content are you streaming?

Do you have windows xp pro or windows business by any chance? If so you can try the built in remote desktop protocol, just be sure to open up UDP port 3389 if you are behind a router or firewall. If you don't have xp pro or vista business UltraVNC is another program you can try but I'm not sure if it does audio streaming and it is only compatible with windows xp.


VLC media player can also do audio/video streaming but I never personally used it:

All sound from the computer. Actually I'm using it to connect through to another computer that is running an audio creation program for like music and stuff... and I'm being taught(or ideally that's the case) on ways to use it to be applicable to any program.

Basically I'm trying to connect to another computer(which is easy with logmein.com as it streams fast), and watch as the user on that computer does stuff on that and every sound they hear I should also be able to hear, with high quality and low delay. Logmein.com actually does a near perfect job, but only the professional version. and I can't afford to keep paying for the premium version of that.

All the other remote management applications with sound support, don't have the quality, nor the latency I'm after compared with logmein.
