Thanks for getting back to me do quickly.
Is there a network audio object (s) that can output standard formatted audio?
i've started writing an RTP infrastructure for Pd [1], though it currently only supports uncompressed audio. RTP is a pretty standard protocol, and latency can go down to a few ms. there are also RTCP components. keep in mind though, that this is not a "plug-and-play" object, but instead a framework (so you might need to know what RTP is and ow it works in order to get it do what you want).
whether it works in browser or not, i don't know. keep in mind, that browsers are still mainly consumer goods, and as such latency doesn't matter so much (if you only listen to a stream on a remote place it doesn't matter if it is 10ms behind or 2mins - since there is no feedback and nothing to compare with, tere is no "absolute" time)
www.webrtc.org/
There's already a working demo for audio/video conferencing with firefox nightly (and maybe chrome).
One of the claimed benefits is the ability to connect and send data peer-to-peer with nat traversal, although the claim is made in such a cavalier manner about such a disruptive feature that I'm suspicious there are a thousand catches.
