Huh? Why would you claim that? WaveLAN does signalling at 11Mbps. MP3s
are around 128kbps usually. That's around a factor of 100x slower than
you need. I know that there are inefficiences and overhead, but they
aren't that huge.
I have personally spoken to people who have played MP3s over a large scale
production WaveLAN system that only runs at 2Mbps.
I don't know why you believe it doesn't have the bandwidth, but I can
assure you that it does...
