Live music != a server room. Think laptop DJs. It would be bad if plugging into the network caused a click in your sound output - this could be VERY loud depnding on the setting!

You might be playing sound out of your sound interface, and sending the same sound over the network as UDP packets for recording or additional processing. Lee
