> Audio is one of the most real time applications. Most real time applications have much lesser time controls. If you are running a motor the inertia of the whole system means that you really only need to adjust the speed every few seconds. Anecdotally that's one of the "eureka" moments behind SpaceX's industry-disrupting low production costs. They realized they only really needed ±20ms precision for communication between different sensors/actuators, which made heavily multiplexed ethernet busses feasible, and got rid of massive amounts of dedicated serial lines and related hardware. 13 years later, competitors are just about ready to catch up.
