I am working on what is called "distributed multimedia interaction", one
purpose of which is to investigate possibilities for ensemble playing
by remote parties, distributing the audio over IP networks.
A crucial point is to achieve audio transmission with very low latency.
If anyone could provide me with information on, or pointers to,
open-source software for doing this, I would be grateful. (I have
started to roll my own, but I can hardly defend duplicating work
unnecessarily.)
Other comments are of course also appreciated.
With kind regards

Nice! I'm working on creating music on the Net :-)

Soundmesh might do a bit what you want.

Please keep me (and/or the list)
updated on your progress, I'm very
interested on a cooperation.
Cheers,

Thanks, I will look into that.

Noted. I'll just have to do some progress first ;-)
The current version is _very_ basic. I have however acheived a latency
of 12ms end to end (analog to analog), of which 8.7ms are due to to the
buffer of the sound card. So one of the next things is to try on a
better sound card.
(By the way, a back-of-the-envelope calculation gives me that the
absolute minimum latency physically possible is about 67ms (one way)
between two antpodes of the earth. And New Zealand is about antipodal
to Norway. The ping time to NZ was 330ms (two-way) some day I checked
it.)

I know that McGill University has done some work on this kind of
stuff, at their Music Technology department. Maybe you can find
something on their website.
I would be very interested in any open source development in this
direction!

May I ask what your interests are? Are you working at related things?

See: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/groups/soundwire/
I see this has not been updated in a while, but Chris Chafe is actively
working on the project, see a recent event (AES demo) here:

... which reminds me of my promise to chris to build an autostuff thing around the
streambd program, which was used at least for the banff-stanford piano duo. AFAIK
it doesn't have sample clock correction but may be will have it in the future.
shame on me, it's on my todo list and gaining priority from day to day.
