Hi All,

In order to demonstrate multi-device timing, we create demonstrations from time
to time. You might have seen the Carnival video posted earlier, which
demonstrated video synchronization of on demand content.

As a second demonstration, we've looked into live audio. People are used to FM
radios, which allow them to turn on as many radios they like. By nature, they
are synchronized, and having the radio on in both the kitchen and living room is
perfectly normal. Web based radios on the other tend to be all over the place,
with several seconds difference. While some systems exist to do synchronized
playback of on demand content (e.g. Sonos), we have had a look at live, web
based playback. We created a small proxy server to timestamp the data, allowing
clients to receive a normal Ogg Vorbis audio stream with a known start time.
Below is a recording.

If you want more information about any of these demonstrations, don't hesitate
to ask.

Njål
