Streaming audio output from Linux (Pulseaudio) to Windows

# Windows (receiver) side:
.\ffplay.exe -nodisp -ac 2 -acodec pcm_u8 -ar 48000 -analyzeduration 0 -probesize 32 -f u8 -i udp://0.0.0.0:18181?listen=1

# Linux (transmitter) side:
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=remote
ffmpeg -f pulse -i "remote.monitor" -ac 2 -acodec pcm_u8 -ar 48000 -f u8 "udp://RECEIVER:18181"
pavucontrol # Change the default output to the Null sink or move single applications to this "output" device.

I tried incorporating a tcp version using https://0110.be/posts/Sending_audio_over_a_network_with_ffmpeg

Note that as of ffmpeg 7.0, -ac 2 seems to have been removed so you can't use it anymore. Instead, use -af aformat=channel_layout=stereo instead.

Receiver: ffplay -nodisp -fflags low_delay -strict-experimentals -fflags discardcorrupt -af aformat=channel_layouts=stereo -analyzeduration 0 -probesize 32 -mpegts "tcp://0.0.0.0:18181?listen=1"

Null Sink: pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=remote
Sender: ffmpeg -f pulse -i "remote.monitor" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 196k -f mpegts "tcp://10.42.0.1:18181"
