Dies erh\u00f6ht die finanziellen Kosten erheblich. Zudem gestaltet sich die Integration von kommerziellem Audioequipment in freie und Open-Source-Software h\u00e4ufig als schwierig.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Konzeption, Implementierung und Evaluation eines Ethernet-basierten Audio\u00fcbertragungssystems, das nahtlos in das Linux-Audio-\u00d6kosystem integriert werden kann.
