Interesting idea.<br>
<br>
What kind of threshold are you looking for regarding latency?<br>
I assume this would be for a local network, right?<br>
<br>
If I were you, I would first try to fine-tune your current setup by<br>
getting all latency variables as low as possible (icecast, pd+oggcast~,<br>
and the html audio player).<br>
<br>
ICECAST: There should be config settings for it where you can manage<br>
the buffering/latency. Usually buffering/latency is good for streaming<br>
media since you never know what will happen on the network.<br>
<br>
oggcast~ : I'm guessing it is as low as it can go right now, but there<br>
may be an internal buffer that you can adjust/downsize.<br>
<br>
HTML audio player: Most importantly, in the HTML, you should check to<br>
make sure that the audio is not buffering. My guess is that this is<br>
where you are experiencing the largest latency. Since HTML5 is a<br>
moving target, I'm not sure how you would currently do that. May not<br>
even be possible.<br>

<br>
<br>
Then, if the above didn't work, you might try to hook up the output of<br>
a TCP netsend to a websocket and then translate the audio data chunks<br>
into JS Audio. UDP won't work on websockets AFAIK.<br>
