Sorry to bother but could somebody please update the commands? From Linux to Windows
@PlayF0R3v3R If you look at the link to 0110.be I sent last post, the sender takes input using avfoundation for mac. I use -f pulse for linux. I'm not sure what the corresponding input device for windows is but you could start by changing that.

I tried incorporating a tcp version using https://0110.be/posts/Sending_audio_over_a_network_with_ffmpeg
Note that as of ffmpeg 7.0,
-ac 2seems to have been removed so you can't use it anymore. Instead, use-af aformat=channel_layout=stereoinstead.Receiver:
ffplay -nodisp -fflags low_delay -strict-experimentals -fflags discardcorrupt -af aformat=channel_layouts=stereo -analyzeduration 0 -probesize 32 -mpegts "tcp://0.0.0.0:18181?listen=1"Null Sink:
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=remoteSender:
ffmpeg -f pulse -i "remote.monitor" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 196k -f mpegts "tcp://10.42.0.1:18181"
