Just push the stream out at its "natural" rate, with some slack
for buffering of course (you can't output it at a continuous rate
anyway).

You still need to synchronise, but it's the recipients' job,
not the server's.

Even with CBR, your clients' audio clock will likely drift from
the server's idea of time...
