Thanks.  I played around with it a bit, and it seems to work well on a
LAN.  Although when seeking, I'd prefer the slave be more aggressive
about seeking further back and decoding/discarding frames to regain
sync, as opposed to waiting until the master catches up.  Perhaps that's
something that can be tweaked in the future.

On a WAN with about 170ms latency, it appears to do some untoward things
with audio sync on the slave.  Would you say that the code has latency
assumptions, precluding it from reliably working on higher latency
connections?  If so, the documentation should probably state that.

Cheers,
Jason.
