Any application that outputs audio to a default ALSA device can be used as music source for streaming. In fact, audio streaming is done transparently by SlimStreamer and SlimPlexor (an ALSA plugin) behind the scene. Moreover, SlimStreamer captures PCM stream in a bit-perfect way (without resampling to a predefined sample rate), which allows streaming audio in best possible quality!

- https://github.com/CESNET/UltraGrid - UltraGrid brought by CESNET's Laboratory of Advanced Networking Technologies (Sitola) is a software implementation of high-quality low-latency video and audio transmissions using commodity PC and Mac hardware. Supported resolutions range through HD (1920x1080) up to 4K (4096x2160) with up to 60 frames per second. The high-quality is achieved either by using uncompressed streams or streams with very low compression ratio. End-to-end transmission latency (i.e., all the way from the camera to the display) is about 100ms, but it varies based on camera and capture cards being used. UltraGrid was originally a research project used to demonstrate the possibilities of 10Gbps networks and to study multi-point data distribution in such environments. Recent advances in the field of GPU-accelerated low-latency codecs extend its usability also to Gigabit networks. UltraGrid is supported on PCs with Linux operating system and Macs with MacOS X.
