as powerful as some unix prototyping tools can be, just stop for a second. although i'd be the first person to suspect stupid financial motivations behind the proliferation of audio-over-(ethernet|IP) solutions, do you really think that if delivery low latency audio streams was even remotely achievable with a tool like netcat that we would have seen the emergence of special network interfaces and completely new ethernet-level protocols? audio-via-cat5 cable isn't a new problem, waiting for the right solution. it is an old problem with at least a half dozen solutions each with different pros and cons.
