4) Two way communication - Have two devices running LANmic as well as Bubbleupnp (or similar), sent the live stream to each other, so you can listen and talk to each other. Note: there is likely to be significant time delay due to the player's buffer.
5) Record/spy on someone's communication - With the device's screen off and LANmic running, play the live stream elsewhere and save the live stream using application such as VLC.
Time delay
For no delay, use RTSP AAC and set buffer to 0 seconds. Otherwise, HTTP using wave have time delay around 100ms whereas mp3 have around 500ms delay, if you configure your streaming player to use minimum or no buffer. VLC provides the lowest time delay playing wave stream when buffer is set to zero. XBMC have around 5 seconds time delay whether it is wave or mp3 encoded.
Note: If using HTTP AMR, VLC will need at least 30 seconds to connect before playback starts with over 30 seconds delay.
LAN only
This app will only work on your local area network. The live stream is will not pass through to the internet unless you setup port forwarding to your device.
