OFF: A different type of tape swap

[Dave Greenhalgh]

Tried this once a while ago.  I can't speak for DSL and Cable Modems,  but the best
I ever managed for online jamming was broadcasting MIDI data rather than the audio
itself.  Mind you - our "hub" didn't have the kind of computer muscle needed to
receive the independent audio streams, mix them and turn them round fast enough.  It
was wierd, everything you played came back a bit later.

Nice idea though.
