Not really stuttering, but,
I found using analog in as the source for audio only streams,
QTBroadcaster would not "Play thru Speaker" so I ran QTPlayer
to monitor. The Player consistently showed a bit rate 10% higher
than the Broadcaster, but never stopped to let the stream catch up.
Rather the opposite, the Player would skip forward about 0.2 seconds
every 10 - 20 seconds.
This happened on any client player connected to the QTSS. The server
runs on another box with the Broadcaster pointed at it. I also
"Record to Disk" and put the resulting file in a streaming directory
after the show. This always streams smoothly, no blips.
When I got the core audio drivers with Protools 6 and its HD card
I could use that as the source, but still no playthru, and the blips
were still there. This is with 128kb/s stereo mp4 audio only.
I have now set up a second instance of Broadcaster, running
24kb/s mono. Digi's driver won't let 2 instances of QTB share
the output bus from the card, so the "Narrowcaster" is running
from the analog in.
Unfortunately at the same time I upgraded both broadcaster and server
to QT 6.4. So I can't tell if it's QT6.4, or the dual broadcast,
but the blips seem to have vanished.
Our next scheduled broadcast is at 7pm EST Thursday, details at
http://qtss.mus.auckland.ac.nz/ltc.html
Our network guys say they have opened port 554,
but note that I am using raw rtsp:// links,
y'all should know the dangers of that by now ;-)
