MAST - Multicast Audio Streaming Toolkit
What is MAST ?
MAST is a set of command line tools for working with multicast Audio over IP streams that use the Real Time Protocol (RTP). It can be used to interoperate with audio streams that are compatible with the AES67 standard.
MAST is licenced under the permissive MIT License, see the file LICENSE.md for details.

MAST aims to follow the Unix Philosophy of "programs that do one thing and do it well".

MAST supports a number of different payload types from the RTP audio video profile:
It is intended that additional payload types will be added back in the future.
What happened to MAST v1?
MAST v2 is a re-write of MAST v1, with a focus on high quality linear audio on local area networks, rather distribution over the Internet.
