RIO's in Sync- Sometimes

["happy_hammer66" <bill.mcmahon@xxxxxxx>]

Whilst trying out the new rio clients,(which allow you to tune into a 
shoutcast stream directly), i looked at the problem of whole house 
audio using the rio's again.(just to impress people at parties). 
Using my home shoutcast server i watched my two connected rio's each 
get there own shoutcast stream and you can see the delay between the 
two in the shoutcast server log. Going through jreceiver always gave 
2-3 secs between the two, but going directly from the rio to the 
shoutcast server improves things. In the end what i did was to tune 
the two rio's to my shoutcast server, then kill the server and 
restart again, the shoutcast application will reconnect the streams 
automatically and maybe 1 in 3 times the connection times would be 
good enough to appear to be in-sync.

The server has only 1 sec timestamps in the log, so its possible to 
have the same timestamp but still an echo or hollow sound. We really 
need the streams to be less than 25msecs apart or we'll hit echo.

I did not change any default shoutcast settings and my PC isn't 
hectic either, so there's probably still room for improvement.
