this is gonna be hyperspecific but i hope fedi can figure something out

i want to stream audio from my linux devices to my iPhone's (or iPad would work but iPhone preferable) audio output with as minimal latency as possible (so that means in descending order of preference, wired, bluetooth, wifi)

iOS lets me hook up my CIs to my phone and it works amazingly
every other OS (desktop or mobile) sucks with this (and linux is the desktop OS with the best support lmao)

i want to stream the audio from my arch desktop (or fedora 41 framework) to my phone which relays it to my ears
interestingly my phone somehow manages to short circuit half the bluetooth audio stack and latency from my phone to my ears is faster than the video half the time so i just need to find a low latency solution for the other half

audio codec gets compressed to 16KHz stereo at some stupid low bitrate in the end so i probably won't hear any difference

please boost if you don't have any ideas :3

@leftpaddotpy well the catch is the target is iOS
i can emulate x86-32 linux apps on iOS but i don't believe i have an audio backend for that emulator and i'd be in way too deep if i tried implementing it myself

@niko it's easier to compile native iOS code. it's just rust. but you would have to create an app to jam it into. and because apple is stupid, probably be semi forced to release it on the app store due to time limits on testing your own apps.

@niko you might need to write an app for a client though, but there's already a library as you see

@leftpaddotpy the other catch is i have no clue how to write a client app for iOS lmao every time i try app dev on any platform i realize i'm in way too deep
