A solution would be to encode all required channels in one
multi-channel stream, using the Opus codec, then broadcast this single
stream using a multicast IP wifi transmitter (with the UDP protocol to
avoid delays), to be received by individual decoders made with small
wifi equipped computers (maybe cheap android phones). This is a
scheme that would ensure that all receivers get all channels
simultaneously, to minimize delays between decoded channels (helped
with a precise "world clock" protocol like PTP). I don't know if this
specific solution exists (more googling required at this point), but
there is one commercial solution partially based on the same idea to
transmit distinct stereo streams (instead of one multi-channel stream):
