Hear hear. I was just thinking about a putting all my music and a mpd on my pi then running clients on tv/computers/phones.
But ur idea is the next step!

I actually do something similar to this to run music for an online D&D campaign I'm in, except I use the http output so none of the other players have to install a client.
I do like the idea of the home audio server use case, I think it'll go on my back burner!

That sounds too connected - I like the idea of some sort pulseaudio network services but with better latency. I'd like to see pulseaudio with a better cross platform UI and a set of decentralized services versus introducing a single point of failure like you are proposing. Maybe a solution with dns-sd with stun support and a slick UI for desktop/mobile?

Or AVB as I note above, depending upon your lan and hardware
The idea is to be able to take a call on my phone and receive notifications on my laptop while developing on my PC. It'd also be nice for streaming stuff in general.
As many people who have also looked into this stuff probably already know, interactive audio is really sensitive to latency. I've given it a quick shot by running pulse over the network, but honestly I wasn't impressed. I've given up for now, but some suggested software here might be good enough for a second shot, based on pipewire and its JACK backend this time.
