connecting AppVM via jack to remote jack for sound output

[dimi]

Have been reading up on jack audio control kit and decided to try out to get sound from my surfing AppVM over to a rpi3 which is connected to my PA.
I'd prefer not to lay 25m Audio cables which is bad for sound quality and
it also would free up my Desk from this little ugly Boxessess.

Does anyone have any experience and success storys or can point me to a painless solution?

I have found this two links but they achieve something different.

IMHO your best bet would be to use pulseaudio over the network. I used
that setup years ago but lost my notes so can't help with specifics, but
searching "pulseaudio over network" on the web give plenty of useful
info. It boils down to setting up pulseaudio on the rpi3 with the
module-native-protocol-tcp module and configuring your AppVM to use a
sink that sends audio to the network server instead of dom0.

By the way, do you have any specific requirement for using JACK ? It's
mostly used for low-latency/low-jitter audio stuff - which is orthogonal
with tcp/udp.

No specific requirements, i just knew about Jack and there is a plethora of options jack1, jack2, netjack, JackTrip etc. but i will now dive into pulseaudio and see where it leads me, thanks for the hint Ivan.
