I think this has not been mentioned in the thread yet:

The underlying software is called jacktrip. It's been used many times in
concert by as many as 5 simultaneous sites at once (AFAIK). 

I don't know if it will behave nicely in your setup, wifi (as mentioned
in the thread) will have dropouts - jacktrip uses udp by default so the
packets will be lost. 

Jacktrip is meant for high bandwidth / multichannel uncompressed sound
but might be worth a try anyway (can't remember if the latest version
supports celt, at least I think that was in the works)...
