Another way is to use the soundcard of a a second computer and link
the two using zita-njbridge. If the connection is via a LAN and 
Jack on the second PC is only lightly loaded you can actually
achieve the same latency as with zita-ajbridge. This is so because
njbridge assumes the worst case: the transmitter running near the
end of its Jack cycle. If that is not the case you can set the
extra buffering in zita-n2j to zero and still have some headroom
for network delay.

At my new workplace (*) I've ported njbrigde to OSX and Windows.
So we can now exchange full quality multichannel audio with low 
latency between Linux, OSX and Windows machines in any combination.

(*) Since some people have asked: I'm now in Munich and working
on 3D audio at the European Research Center of Huawei.
