hi -- i'm new to using pulse. i'm slowly replacing a system based on NAS (network audio system -- not network accessible storage) that i use for home audio distribution. i'm curious about the rtp capability -- is there anything in the protocol to guarantee synchronization all the way to the sound hardware? i understand that since the stream is multicast, all network receivers will get it at the same time, but different servers may have different latencies. i suppose these latencies will tend to be constant, and not drift, but i'm worried that if the sound hardware is driving systems that can be heard from one another (e.g., one in the kitchen, one in the livingroom two rooms away) that the delay may be annoying. any experience with this? paul =--------------------- paul fox, pgf at foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 25.5 degrees)
