Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
Yes, possibility's are endless.<br>
But as already mentioned before, it can be done now, just by using
the VAC.<br>
<br>
Let VAC 'talk' to a <a href="http://www.audiomulch.com/">VST-host</a>
and then you can use all the now available <a
href="https://talkinmusic.com/musicproduction/top-100-free-vst-plugins/">(free)
VST audio plug-ins</a>.<br>
What about powersdr having a simple VST-host build-in?.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Bert,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to suggest that instead of PowerSDR connecting to
the sound card directly that a network streaming audio
interface be added</div>
<div>(if it doesn't already exist) that would allow developers
to build apps on any platform to send/receive basic audio and
PTT data using</div>
<div>an open-source audio compression codec.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The "remote" app could run on the <b>same Windows computer
as PowerSDR</b> using an ASIO audio device, kernel
streaming,</div>
<div>bluetooth headset etc. or it could be an Android tablet
running remotely over wireless, a Linux desktop, a phone ...
and so on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Once the streaming interface was implemented, the PowerSDR
developers could continue to work on PowerSDR, and other
developers</div>
<div>could write nice audio interface apps for it. For example,
I might be interested in writing a Windows and/or Linux app
that would add multi-band</div>
<div>compression, parametric EQ and other features to the audio
chain. I don't have the time or desire right now to be
responsible for an entire</div>
<div>branch of PowerSDR, but I could be responsible for my own
audio app, as could other developers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Parts of it could be done right now using VAC to interface
to PowerSDR, but that seems clumsy to me. It also wouldn't
allow for PTT</div>
<div>without a virtual serial port, which again complicates
things. Perhaps virtualizing the CAT command set using a
separate socket or </div>
<div>UDP port along side the audio streaming might work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just thinking out loud...</div>
