I'm so glad it is available for free, without ads. Easy to connect to linux with pipe wire/pulse.

Nice, but a bit choppy I wanted to use my phone as an external "sound card" because my laptop's headphone jack broke. It is much easier to use this app by adding a dummy (module-null-sink) sink to PulseAudio and setting module-simple-protocol-tcp to record its monitor source, so the phone appears as an output in e.g. Gnome. The sound is sometimes choppy even over USB tethering (RNIS). Unfortunately, my phone doesn't seem to support ADB reverse port forwarding, but I guess it could improve the latency a bit.

I replaced PulseAudio with pipe wire and streaming still works flawlessly. However when my phone screen is off the app stops after a while despite whitelisting its battery usage on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

AWESOME WORK!!! I can use this to play audio from a cheroot I set up on my android phone! No lag, no choppiness, just epic. Probably because I'm playing a local stream I set up with PulseAudio inside the cheroot but still.
