Linux WheatNet-IP Audio Driver

Linux WheatNet-IP Audio Driver

We have received multiple inquiries about a Linux version of our AoIP PC Driver. We do have a Linux version in active development. It is being tested at a few user sites but has not reached release status yet.


Benefits of using a Linux driver with a Linux-based automation playout system are obvious. Linux does not suffer from the maladies that Windows-based systems suffer which are often the cause of pops, clicks and dropouts. Currently, we are aware of two playout systems that run on the GNU/Linux operating system: Rivendell (from Paravel Systems) and Wide Orbit.

We'll update this article when the Linux driver is released.
