I think the biggest problem is that it is a (randomly?) _variable_ delay line.
Some early voice-over-internet work was done more than 20 years ago, and it
was deemed "not ready for prime time" mostly because of lack of "guarantee
of
service/quality" (i.e. variable latency, and occasional dropout). The
underlying technology has not changed (that) much (if at all?). TCP/IP was
defined in RFCs when? 20 or 30 years ago? Some refinements, granted.

Just think of it as a delay line :) If people do this, it would be very cool to just
have the remote peers
function as inputs into jack.
As cool as that sounds, there is something really weird about having
something with as much latency as the internet connected to something
as low-latency and sample accurate as JACK. Sooner or later, one of us will get around to
implementing it....
That would be interesting. In general, viz. computers, I believe in the "*nix
credo" which goes something like "many ways to skin a cat". Choose your
favorite, or the one that best fits the situation. The more tools the better.
