Don't overestimate it, at least in Europe.  If we reduce speed of light
to a third (to account for back-and-forth and probably overoptimistic
repeater performance), 1ms is good for 100km.  That doesn't bode well
for world-wide jamming, but with countries as small as those in Europe,
at least nationally it's workable.

Ah, ok.  Of course, "used to compensating latency" is not really a
specific "teacher" skill unless we are talking latency-heavy instruments
like some organs.

Looks like I need to work on subtitles for
<https://youtu.be/Vn1f70IH-Es> (my talk on Jamulus at the Chemnitzer
Linuxtage last Sunday, in German).  Or maybe start by translating at
least the slides.

Not involving Jamulus at all.  Just the raw mic-to-headphone delay when
using jackd at your usual settings (likely 128 or 64 samples per
period).
