if you are using a 100mbit network the udpsync stuff should already be
useful for you.
it still has some issues but i hope we can fix them during the next
month.

it slaves (synches) one jackd to another via network.
using the soundcard of the slave is only possible for capturing and it
resamples the input it gets in a brutal manner, but for 100mbit i cant
hear artifacts.
with wlan its VERY harsh though :)

we will support multicast in the future. but development is progressing
quite slowly :(
