I stumbled across this site while reading the LAD list some time ago: http://www.q2s.ntnu.no/~asbjs/ldas/ldas.html "LDAS is primarily developed to be used as a tool for research into distributed multimedia interaction and perceived quality of service. It is aimed at demanding applications where very low latency transmission of high quality multichannel audio is needed. " They are expecting to release GPL'd software fairly shortly - you may want to try to get in touch with the author.
