Hi David.

Yes, audio streaming latency is a pain and breaks the action/result 
loop in a bad way. You can't even try to compensate, since latency 
differ from viewer to viewer. Your are never sure what your listeners 
hear.

There is nothing we can do here. HTTP streaming is not real-time. RTP 
is, but that's another story.

Happy DJ'ing (with delay).
