Syncing icecast stream to multiple clients using Signalr

Hi List,

I recently started using icecast and have thought about using it to stream music to multiple clients simultaneously. The clients are in a close proximity to each other. Unfortunately, the clients do not stream in sync, there is a latency of about 50ms - 500ms among the sounds coming from the clients.

Now I would like to know if there already is a client program that supports streaming in sync. I use google chrome to connect to the stream on the clients. Is there a mobile application that is capable of receiving the stream in sync?

Ideally there'd be the possibility to sync clients that access the stream with a web browser, because I think it's more convenient for users to visit a website, without having to download a special client application. I have thought about this problem and think a solution to it might be to implement signalr with shoutcast.

Could you give me some guidance, on where to look in the code documentation on the http server that serves up the /stream url? I'd like to start working on this, but am not proficient in C. If I'd be able to write C# code for Icecast though, I'd be happy to start working right away. I know another project, namely wix, that has an interface between native C++ and C#, maybe there's something similar for icecast.

Greetings
