I don't see anything that would prevent the technique from working
with audio, although streaming audio would increase the bandwidth
requirements by several orders of magnitude.  MIDI makes it possible
for "home servers" to be used over DSL, and allows you to easily
connect more than 2 people - audio wouldn't work/scale
anywhere near as well.
