you have bigger problems than startring your programs at the same time.  
You need very tight progamatic syncing.  audio variations of more than 
10ms will mess up listening.  I think visual is a bit looser around 
20-30ms; the eyes have more processing power?

The systems I am familiar with have realtime syncing which can't run 
over traditional ethernet.  There ARE 802.1 standards that will meet the 
10ms requirement for audio.  The music people (and manufacturing 
automation) got that added and it works up to 2 bridge hops, but your 
switches/bridges/routers/APs have to support this.

Try using an digital drum to wireless headphones with more than a 10ms 
delay.  It is impossible to drum if this occurs.
