> FTA: 11us is _unbelievably good_ digital latency, but with near unlimited length is actually a pretty good value proposition for Live Audio. There may be a niche demand for a product like this: slap in some SFP adapters, transmit a channel of digital audio over whatever medium you like.
Used to be you could get an PRI (ISDN/T1) phone line for this kind of work, but I think it's pretty doubtful that you can keep it end-to-end low latency PRI with modern telephony. You'd have to be ok with single channel 8-bit, 8k uLaw, but that's not that bad; you could probably orchestrate multiple calls for multiple channels. Someone is going to convert it to SIP with 20ms packets and there goes your latency.
