100Mb ethernet has more than enough BW and low latency... uncompressed
PCM at voice quality is easily done... existing ethernet interfaces
exist with built-in processors, lots of memory, multiple serial data
ports and a web server, all in a package that looks like an ethernet PCB
connector.
The only issue would be cost (these gadgets currently run about $50 in
single lots). One company even has a small carrier board that includes
digital audio in 8 different formats, including mp3. I have been looking
at adding some of these gadgets to some of my projects.
