OSC or something....

Hey there,
This is something Im interested in too.
Haven't had time to do too much research into the topic yet, but I think the external objects [netsend~] and [netreceive~] do just this. (do a search on maxobjects.com to find them.)

Not sure if these work with Max5 however. Anyone who knows?

And I suppose it also requires Max to be running on both computers, for sending and receiving.
In that respect it would be better with something like a virtual soundcard where the second computer sees the incoming audio as a normal audio-stream.

OSC is about control data and not audio data. Look at shoutcast~, or oggcast~:

Look at 'audio-over-network.maxpat' in the 'examples/jitter-examples/audio' folder.
