If you don't account for lost packets what's going to happen to any lost
audio data ? I'll
ask some more next time I talk to the guys about the protocol they're
using.

You get a 'pfsst' noise (that may lose something in translation) until
everything sync's up again. Audio streaming isn't generally critical stuff
so why bother trying to make up the lost stuff.


That's what I thought.

That makes such a scheme unacceptable for serious hi-fi or professional audio
usage which will be the mainstay of the market for such a product.

Ergo... redundancy *is* required.
