What if you had an internet game and you wanted participants to be able to
talk to each other by voice over T1. It would not have to be the quality of
full VOIP. It could even be simplex rather than duplex. This problem
should be similar to broadcasting a web camera output, except you just want
to send to a specific IP address.
How could you do this using Rev?
Unless you use some outside service, some form of sockets communication should work. If there are several games listening to the sound, then multicast would be great, but that is not supported in Revolution.
Right now record and play are to files. That would create a delay and might not work well. It would be nice if sound input and output (as well as MIDI) could be open as a stream, in a manner much as sockets are used.
I heard somebody mention connecting a player object to a QT stream. I don't know if that works well and even if it does, you still have the problem of setting up a server.
Maybe there are external apps that can do this that can be controlled from within a Revolution application.
And then there are externals...
