I wonder if you could run OSXBMC on each TV and then use screen sharing to sync the a/v?

This is dead for the original XBOX since the ports are doing well at this point and il will be MUCH easier to do this in Linux/OSX/Windows given the audio drivers and other open-source apps that can be leveraged.
Focus on getting this done in the Linux port and you have a MUCH better chance.

I'd love to see an interface for Multi-Zone Audio. I'd like to use a single instance of XBMC to run all my ceiling speakers in my house.
Is there a dev willing to take this on?

That's something that should be controlled by hardware. We aren't in the home automation biz.

Gamester17,
"there was no-chance" - you used those words, not me.
I simply gave my opinion and a simple to verify fact... there are open-source apps that exist that make it easier to implement on non-xbox platforms.
I've love to see this happen... so much that I posted a [req] in the Linux forum before you posted.

I posted this here in the 'OS independent Forum' because I'm not concerned with what OS platform it gets integrated into first. I'm just trying to put in some of the ground work, maintain/generate some interest and determine if whether what I have put forward provides a reasonable way to achieve what many amongst us see as a new 'must have' feature.
My XBMC will never be 'DEAD'...it my loose some of the overall use but it will always retain something even it were only to become functional as a sync'ble device in a multi-room audio system.
I believe in the strength and flexibility of the Slim product and figured that with the openness of that dev stream, these 2 projects would be well matched.

I already said it once, we do media, not home automation. Granted on further research you didn't really prove a point as homeseer and xlobby are both HARDWARE solutions and a few of those other apps just use PLUGINS to access this hardware. That being said, I suggest you learn python.

this is something that you can do with pulseaudio. let xbmc output it's sound
to pulseaudio and let pulseaudio handle rederection and syncronisation.
so it should be doable without making any changes to xbmc
