Actually, if you have two interfaces on a local, private network, there's no need to configure the routing at all.

i.e.
	Machine 1: 192.168.77.1
	Machine 2: 192.167.77.2

You don't have to set up any special route in order to ping machine 1 from machine 2, or vice versa. So audio-only won't require a route.

If the regular internet address of machine 1, is, say, 192.168.1.100, and its default route is 192.168.1.1, all internet traffic will still work perfectly. This of course assumes you're using Class C addresses as above.

However, you'd require setting up a route if either of the machines doesn't have an internet connection of its own, also turningon ip_forward, setting up /etc/resolve.conf, etc etc.,.
