AFAIK you can't reduce this delay. It's caused by buffering mechanisms on
the server/player and by delays due to routing through different networks.
Even more funny, if you have a stream back to your encoder station over
a direct connection to the server for control purposes and in the same
room you have another system which receives the stream over some other
routes, you clearly will hear a noticeable delay between those two players,
which increases depending on the number players which tuned into the stream
after the first and before the second station did connect.
Best regards,
Stefan
