Title: Is there a delay between actual/broadcasted transmissions?
Post by: dave on October 16, 2005, 09:14:51 AM
Yes, but only the delay in encoding and transmitting the audio across the network.  Transmissions have to traverse this path:

feeder -> main audio server -> slave audio server -> listener

It depends on a number of factors, but delay is typically 5-7 seconds for most listeners.  Your mileage may vary.
