Hi,

Does anyone know of any open source projects for real time rehearing over the internet? Something like a software equivalent of Jamlink perhaps? I guess there is of course the commercial eJamming.

Or is this that might be supported in Ninjam in the future?

I notice on the Ninjam home page it mentions "Limitations of note: sound hardware latency (>5ms), perceptual CODEC latency (>20ms), plus typical and theoretical network latency (>40ms)."
With modern hardware and broadband connections I wonder if these figures are rather pessimistic. e.g. hardware latency of <5ms is not uncommon, and on a good internet connection (non-interleaved) a one-way ping time of 10ms is quite possible with a reasonable packet size. With a nominal target latency of say 20-30ms it seems like this should be do-able now??

I noticed Musigy a few years back but it came and went!

Thanks for any suggestions!
