This ebuild runs but I can't vouch for the quality of the actual software as I did minimal testing between two computers on a LAN.

Here is a link to the license. Should I include the license as an attachment?

Commited ~x86 masked. In the end it is 4.2.23 that has ended up in portage. The 3.0.35 version is no longer being worked on and i don't want to end up maintaining.

I don't have a way of testing this so i need you to let me know if it's okay. Please file new bugs if there are issues. Thanks!

Hi,

I tested it with 3 computers on a LAN. The sound quality was pretty good. I didn't  run into any problems with it.
