The radio idea is nice, you mention the talker/dj scenario. Where you
have in the speaker room somebody talking and playing music/ads/etc.
Or even the ones where the speaker room launches funny noises but the
tech room has the control of the outcome.

In a digital world using a thin client is a nice idea. But if you use
a remote X session, won't the tech room loose control? Unless you do
some crazy setup like having the tech room run in one user and the
speaker room run in a second user, and the tech room manipulating the
speaker room's user audio through jack.

Can you plug stuff from different users in jack?
