I have added a second dedicated network card to my Snake-oil computer so that the CPU of this computer doesn't have to bother about handling network traffic. Besides providing a better sound quality this additional network card also gives the option to configure the Snakeoil machine as a bridge between the NAS and a renderer like pictured below.
NAS --> Switch/FMC --> Snakeoil machine (LMS) --> Renderer
According to posts on forums having a direct connection between the server and the client might have benefits for the sound. However when trying to setup this bridge via bridge-utils and runnning the "brctl addbr br0" command I get the message "add bridge failed: Package not installed”.Does this mean that in the current kernel of Snakeoil this function has been disabled so that bridging is not supported?
