This is very, very cool; it's a thing I've been looking for on my backburner for several years. It's a very interesting problem. There are a ton of directions I can think about you taking it in. The household application: this one is already pretty directly applicable. Have a bunch of wireless speakers and you should be able to make it sound really good from anywhere, yes? You would probably want support for static c…
Unfortunately the w3c webtiming community group has closed. It'd be amazing to have the browser better able to keep time in sync across devices. https://www.w3.org/community/webtiming/ https://github.com/webtiming/timingobject

How does it deal with the audio ring buffers on the various devices? Does it just try to start them all at the same time, or does it take into account the sample position within the buffer?

Someone brought up the idea of an internet radio, which I thought was cool. If you could see a list of all the rooms people are in and tune it to exactly what they're jamming to.
I primarily built this for group in-person listening, and that's what the spatial audio controls are for. But what is interesting is that since it only requires the browser, it works across the internet as well. You can guarantee that you and someone else are listening to the same thing even across an ocean. Someone brought up the idea of an internet radio, which I thought was cool.

How can you guarantee that? NTP fails to guarantee that all clocks are synced inside a datacenter, let alone across an ocean (Did not read the code yet)
EDIT: The wording got me. "Guarantee" & "Perfect" in the post title, and "Millisecond-accurate synchronization" in the README. Cool project!

0.3 microseconds. The period of a wave at 20kHz (very roughly the highest pitch we can hear) is 50 microseconds. So - more or less insignificant.
Cable latency is basically never an issue for audio. Latency due to speed of sound in air is what you see techs at stadiums and performance halls tuning.

The instant you start having wireless speakers (eg. bluetooth) or any sort of significant delay between commanding playback and the actual sound coming out, the latency becomes audible.
