Soon, but not quite yet -- at the moment, sfront networking does
MIDI resilently for low-latency situations, and while you could
concievably hack this to do audio (sending samples encoded as
MIDI change-control events, and reassmbling on the other side),
you really don't want to go there.
I'm actively working on SASL networking for sfront at the moment --
SASL is the more general-purpose control language for Structured
Audio, provided as a companion to MIDI control. SASL is well
suited for writing custom audio codecs in Structured Audio, so
once the SASL packetization is ready, sfront should be a viable
platform for these sorts of experiments. But not for another few
months ...
