Small playout buffers help a lot ... it doesn't take many milliseconds 
of
buffering (small single-digit) to make a big difference.

Oh, time for the obligatory RTP MIDI plug:

Coming closer to Last Call, Dominique Fober recently reviewed
the documents for AVT, and I'm in the process of revising -05.txt
to take his advice into account. That revision might actually be the
Last Call, we shall see ... subscribe to avt-request at ietf.org if you
want to follow along.

Also, our AES presentation got in:

So we'll be talking in San Francisco in October, if anyone is in
the neighborhood ... AES only comes to San Francisco once
every 5 years, and so there's a lot of fun things going on at
the conference --
