The radio idea is nice, you mention the talker/dj scenario. Where you have in the speaker room somebody talking and playing music/ads/etc. Or even the ones where the speaker room launches funny noises but the tech room has the control of the outcome. In a digital world using a thin client is a nice idea. But if you use a remote X session, won't the tech room loose control? Unless you do some crazy setup like having the tech room run in one user and the speaker room run in a second user, and the tech room manipulating the speaker room's user audio through jack. Can you plug stuff from different users in jack?
