Thanks for your reply. I disagree with some of what you say. As for competing lossless webcasting solutions, I only know of 1 called EdCast (https://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/ https://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/), which when used with IceCast, can stream lossless flac-ogg audio. A UK based station called Absolute Radio's using it & they tell me it's not stable. Aside from that I don't know of any lossless webradio broadcasting solution. As for telepresence, there's only 1 project called Scenic (http://scenic.sat.qc.ca/en/Scenic http://scenic.sat.qc.ca/en/Scenic) addressing the issue of lag for concert Telepresence. They use the Internet2 network exclusively, but say their software works on any IP network. I would guess that a standard < 1Gb network would create such lag problems that music could not sync between venues & the remote performance idea would simply not work due to delays between each component's audio/video feeds. For example, if a DJ team were to operate between nodes on a low-bandwidth network segment I imagine it would sound like a train wreck when they tried to sync to each other's records. I don't know of any commercial telepresence solution that eliminates lag to the extent that's needed to do what this project aims to do. It's all new in that regard.
