I got this idea yesterday while relaxing and not thinking of anything in
particular. Why not publish a synth running in real time by streaming
it from a server? Radio stations can be tuned from the web, right? A
speech or concert can have a live webcast, no? So why not a synth. The
audio output would be digitized and then encoded in real time to be
streamed.

And here is the appeal:

I am an individual, working at home in my studio, who likes to create
self-running patches. I sometimes record with ProTools and a Digi001.
But I am not really into recording. Neither can I realistically get
into performing live. But I would like to let other people hear my
synth. Wouldn't it be great if I could publish it to the Internet, real
time. People could just tune in and listen for a while. I wouldn't
care if they recorded it.

How crazy is this? Has anybody done it that you know of?
