Is there a way to stream audio from MIC and play that stream in Silverlight

Question

So I want to stream the audio from a mic using NAudio and then pass that stream to WCF which a Siverlight app can consume to broadcast the live audio sound. I want the latency to be as low as possible.

Any suggestions or if some one has already done it please point the source. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

what you are asking is certainly possible, but will be a fair amount of work to do. NAudio can handle to capturing microphone audio.

At the Silverlight end you can play custom audio formats (in this case PCM) using a custom media element streaming source. See this one: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wavmss

I suspect latency would not be very good. You can reduce it by keeping the buffer sizes small. Also bear in mind that WAV is not a very efficient format to be sending over the network.
