Is there a way for a single WM9 client to pull a hundred or more
streams from the server?  We have server technology that we think
might increase the throughput of a WM9 server but we don't have

We are trying to broadcast local football games. I will be using Windows Server 2003, with media server 9. The audio source for the games would come from the press box, via a modem or ISDN connection.
We will provide a number and they will dial in the audio source for every game.

Ok. Here are some questions about WMS Architecture.

I'm deploying multicast programme content to around 250 desktops in several open plan office areas...
I have noticed that whilst each machine can connect and render the content each PC seems to differ slightly when playing back the audio element.
This creates a "carcophany" of ...
