I believe that the Ethernet of the RPi is connected to the processor via
USB, so if this application needs to remotely monitor the RPi status, the
Ethernet traffic might cause problems for the audio interface since they
share a USB connection.  Should be checked thoroughly for multichannel
use, I have heard complaints from people trying to build network connected
music players with only two channel playback.
