I think easier is the point. Running long wires around the perimeter
of the room past (or over) several doorways or drilling holes to run
the wires below floors is much more work than plugging the speakers
into a power outlet.

IIRC, it's possible to send digital information
through mains wiring - might be a viable non-wireless solution?

Sure, soon as someone implements the interfaces.

True, it depends where the sockets are.

The technology exists, for making cheap + easy lans.

Just thinking on the wireless again, I dont know how 802.11a,b,g, etc.
do broadcasts. that might be a way (with PLLs in the speakers) to get
the things synched within reasonable limits...

Btw, I take issue with your I hate java section ;) best to keep it OT
though.

Hehehe :)

Neat but someone still has to implement a dedicated audio/video
interface so that we do not need PCs in the speakers.

Many thanks for your suggestions. I'll go away and digest them and let
you know what eventually works. My main problem is that I have concrete
floors!!!

Howsabout drilling through the walls and running a suitable cable round
the outside?

I ran video and stereo audio coax ~21m up through the ceiling and down,
bypassing 3 doors, another room, and a passage; little visible impact.
Actually almost every room is wired now, but it's an old wooden place ...
If you can get into the roof space and the walls are hollow, try cable.

Even if the walls aren't hollow ... I ran some up in room corners:-) YMMV!
