thanks for pointing this out and sorry for my ignorance ;-) .

Ignoring the effect that IP has no guaranteed response times, 
wouldn't it be possible that the both jack client which do 
the streaming could (theoretically) do something like 
realtime dynamic sample rate conversion to sync both signals 
together?

Video players do drop or insert a frame if audio drifts from 
the video signal. Perhaps the streaming jack clients could do 
a similar thing.

I know that this would be a dirty hack because it would 
falsify the audio signal a bit, but it would enable audio 
over networks 8-P .


 Best regards
