From the quoted portion of the post I'm quoting, it would seem that what 
you are both really interested in is peer-to-peer datastream 
communications.  If that is the case, I'd recommend taking a look at ADSP 
rather than ATP.

FTP to apple.com and dig around pub/dts/mac/sc; there should be some ADSP 
stuff up there.  (If you have other Apple DTS sample code sources, such as 
the CD-ROM, then look there as well).

Just because I work for Apple Computer, Inc. doesn't mean that I believe 
what they believe, or vice-versa.
