3.0.0
- introduced new audio codec "CELT", not compatible to old versions
- IMA-ADPCM, MS-ADPCM removed
- since CELT works on 48 kHz sample rate, resampling was removed
2.3.0
- new system sample rate of 33 kHz to improve audio quality, not compatible

should be as low as 2-5 ms (To get a low ping time on DSL connections, an
extra option "DSL fast path" should be enabled by your internet provider).
Technical details
To get sufficient results, a sample rate of 24 kHz (mono channel) was chosen.
The audio compression algorithm IMA-ADPCM with very low delay is used which
results in a raw compressed audio data rate of 96 kbps. First tests showed
that an upstream of 128 kbps is too slow for using the llcon software. At
least 256 kbps upstream bandwidth is required.
The llcon software package includes both, the server and the client
functionality which can be selected by using command line arguments.
MANUAL:
For starting server type ./llcon -s
Start the llcon server on a remote computer with fast internet access. Start the
llcon client on your local computer and connect your sound card with your
instrument/microphone and headphone and type in the IP address of the server.
There are levelers for adjusting the sound card (in/out) and network buffer sizes.
It seems that 2 blocks for network buffer is an optimal choice. For the sound card
buffer, try to make them as short as possible by watching the LEDs below the
levelers (they should stay green).
For test purpose it is possible to run server and client on the same computer. For
this setup first start the server and then the client. Type in 127.0.0.1 for the
IP address in the client software.
