If it looses the sync its a bug.
i will try to reproduce it with xruns on master.
there might be desynchronisation happening, when the master
xruns.
there is one case, where desync would happen, which is not
printed to the terminal.
and another which is quite deceiving:
"resync after freerun"
this does not resync the transport. it resyncs the internal
framecnt value, resulting in desynchronisation of transport.
however i only expect these things to happen on a high latency,
packet losing link. Not on a LAN.
In any case start stop of transport would fix it, so if you have the
feeling its loosing sync, just make a musical break.

yes. just start another jack_netsource.
you might want to use the -j "name" option to give it a more speaking
name.
You can even run the jack_netsource on the slave, and slave another
slave.
But if possible use a star topology.

The website is still just building up.
And the internet stuff, still needs more testing. I was not able to
connect with someone who had hydrogen running and do tranport tests.
Note: not because it did not work, simply because i did not find anyone
on irc, who was interested in testing transport.
