Hi all,
I am working on a project in which I want 5 musicians to walk around a
building and play. They will carry netbooks (mics and headphones) and
their signals will be sent to a concert hall where it will be
broadcasted. Additionally, a "conductor" will decide which individual
stream will every one of those 5 musicians listen to. So I need a
2-way communication on each netbook and 5 in and 5 out on the server.
The server will be wired.
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)...
