Hello Steve, thanks for your anwer. Yes, you are right we want to do VoIP telephone system capable also of "public address" (overhead paging) service. So synchronization is a key issue if we want to avoid unpleasant effects. We are designing our phones and they will have also onboard amplifiers. What I am trying to understand is whether we may use the phone system also for this service or if it is better to go for a specific streaming technology (Ices2 is a good suggestion thanks).
What happen if I put all the phones in a ring? Do they join the same multicast stream or a single stream for each phone will be created? Thanks again.

Is this just for overhead paging or something? You could put all the phones in a ring group with ringall and use the computer's sound card to connect to an amplified speaker setup. You could also look at ices2 to stream audio or some other streaming technology.
