it tells celt to compress one period of data to N bytes.
i use -c32 for internet connections generally. sounds ok.
if you can cope with lower quality lower it and add more channels.

be careful to not max out the link, because this will give you netxruns.
using celt you will only hear a lot of them, but they degrade the
quality.

oh... right this can happen.
i need to think about how i can fix this.

sorry, i was not really clear about this.
netjack only synchronizes the frame count. not the tempo information.
So you need a Transport Master on both ends.

The problem is that the slave transport is basically running in the
future to compensate for the latency of the network link.

I cant know of tempo changes ahead of time. So its mostly
impossible, to add N frames, to beats:bars information.
Tempo changes would at least become flakey.

as stated, it only synchronizes the framecount.
netjack2 seems to do complete tempo synchronisation, but i dont know
if its latency compensated. and i also had somebody reporting,
that it just fails with an assert triggered.

no problem.
just spread the word. i still have the feeling, not many
people are using it :S

while there is obviously much use for it.
