I'm definitely interested in this. I've been thinking about a
distributed audio synthesis/processing protocol where events
(MIDI messages) and audio data travel over UDP or TCP.
The domain of application is LAN, not WAN. I assume the
pessimistic figures mentioned earlier in this thread are for a
WAN, not for a dedicated LAN.
What I have in mind in the case of distributed synthesis is a
master server that dispatches events to slaves, gets audio in
return and does the mixing.
