what would it take to get ultra low latency audio over the internet? wired ethernet at both ends, no starlink, peer to peer, small packets, no bluetooth. Probably no javascript and possibly dedicated hardware for the mic/speaker, given how shitty the latency of some sound cards is
Yep pretty much as you described. You'd have to experiment with compressed vs. uncompressed audio to see which is faster. Obviously compression adds latency, but also results in less packets which are quicker to send.
