I'm interested in your suggestions/experience regarding multimedia tools for streaming audio and possibly also video via LAN (mostly WiFi), played back on multiple client machines, with little to no latency.
You know --- say I want to play some music on my laptop in the living room, and I want to hear the same thing play on another computer in the kitchen, and another one in the garage, etc... ;-)
Ideally, it should be low-latency, in the sense that playback should be synchronized across devices. Like, if two machines are playing in two rooms, and I'm in the hallway in between them, I shouldn't hear any offset between the two playbacks.

LMS has many plugins to serve local files or internet streams. There might be one to send local audio to it. The squeezelite client has really good synchronization. Aside from the builtin web interface, there is an open-source Android app (Squeezer) to control the server to choose the music for individual clients and to sync the clients.
