An option similar to the VLC option (but more command line oriented perhaps) would be to use ffmpeg (with its player ffplay). Ffmpeg can receive for instance rtp (and also raw udp) over the network (example to listen for udp on specific port: "ffplay udp://localhost:4242?listen <udp://localhost:4242?listen>" - see https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide>) and it is flexible when it comes to formats such as raw PCM samples of various sample bit size (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/audio%20types <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/audio%20types>) with possibility to control buffer size to minimise latency. You can install it on the mac with “brew install ffmpeg” if you use brew.
