Hi,


I had a thought that maybe the network sound card should not be using 
ethernet but instead wireless 802.11n.

The ralink rt2870 chipset is well supported at full 300Mb/s on Linux and 
has open source drivers.

I think this would open up a lot of opportunities with a wireless sound 
card.

I'm not sure how many are on the market right now but I haven't heard of 
any yet so there is a big opportunity there to fill a gap.




Cheers.
