I've used it to stream an uncompressed video feed (essentially a special purpose webcam) over LAN as a quick and dirty solution for a research project. It worked out ok after I set a high water mark and forced it to drop data when it couldn't keep up. Before I figured that out, messages tended to pile up and crash my process by exhausting memory. Can't say I'd recommend it, but it can be done, depending on the needs of your project.
