Hi all!

Now I am thinking that something like this might be used in a csound context. 

I see two possibilities. One is to be able to start csound playback at a certain system clock time, so that a "master" csound can start synced playback on one or several "slave" csound. A use case could be a concert with multiple live-coding performers or an installation of a bunch of raspberry pis equipped with sound/light/motion sensors affecting both local and global orchestras, hidden in strategic places in a park where the audience makes the music by milling around between sound spots. 

The other possibility would be to have something like "word clock over tcp/ip" where slave machines sync their audio to the sound card clock of the master. I suppose there are all kinds of issues with making this work due to various network delays, but could one perhaps use the NTP-idea to say "here is your clock signal, and this bit here should match up with NTP-time so and so"

I myself would really like to be able to use a bunch of Pi:s as wirelessly synced recorders, to be able to record events from different positions simultaneously. 

Impossible? Possible? In csound 8? 9?
