Thanks for all these details, Rainer (and you know, I really have given 
you more specific credit for your part in how Chinapainting came 
together...Kyberfest was your brilliant idea!).

The only thing I'd like to add is that, for an audience, if they're 
signed into the same room to listen, they can simply turn off the 
metronome on their stream. Even if the musicians are hearing it on their 
machines, control over the audio of the metronome is per client. If 
someone wanted to stream the audio, they'd just join the room, stream 
the audio via Shoutcast or whatever, and turn the metronome off. If you 
were referring to an audience listening in the same place as one of the 
musicians, then a second computer could be set up as the listener 
machine, and the musician could listen to their setup via headphones, 
while the audio from the listener computer could be sent to a PA.
