Of course you are right that audio encoding introduces latency. Additionally you have two TCP connections (sender -> icecast and icecast -> receiver) which introduce latency. Furthermore, icecast buffers every stream (configurable) but icecast cannot be used for low-latency audio distribution. If you want a low-latency system, you have a fast, low-latency network (i.e. not "the internet") and you have control over both sender and receiver, netjack is the best solution (http://jackaudio.org/faq/netjack.html and https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/WalkThrough_User_Net…) Best regards, Jannis
