Gentlemen, the baseband compression is ready for preview / try in sdr++ brown fork.
All new features (all optional):
1) lossy baseband compression
2) TX over sdr++ protocol - also compressed to 6ksps 16bit instead of 48000 (not further)
3) password authentication on remote access: "--password abcde". Validated on the start play, not upon connect.
4) buffering on rx/tx
5) new connection to server will drop previous connection if previous connection was idle.
6) can select and stream server-side wav files (File Source). Probably it is a good idea to add Recorder option to save files to server side in future, as well (important for android / mobile users).
7) old feature: bluetooth headset microphone support for android ticks the last bullet in mobile (as in mobile phone) comms.
DISCLAIMER
1) lossy baseband compression = controversial idea: your constructuve feedback is welcome.
2) bugs expected as usual - PLEASE REPORT BUGS AND SUGGESTIONS.
3) releasing early without extensive field testing by myself - issues with current home antenna.
Possible bugs:
* some slowly accumulating timing issues with buffering can lead to eventual delays in TX. Start/stop RX to reset it. Under investigation.
