You make a hell of a player, but there is one thing that I think no player can do, and, having my balls put to the wall, I am forced to ask for your help. Basically, my manager went and got a large number of USB headsets for my ESL listening class. They will be very hard to return now and I need to find a way to play back audio and sound from video *simultaneously* on all 20+ USB headsets. Now, I understand that Windows allows one audio playback device selection at a time, but this is all software, right? Can a workaround that channels the same thing to every "card" be made? Is there such a thing available already? I'd give my left nut to know the answer. Come Tuesday there'll be hell to pay...
I'd appreciate any information you could throw my way.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I will take a wild guess and assume that each member in your class have one computer each. If not I think your usb ports will have a hard time to power the headsets. External powered usb hubs is one solution, but not a nice one.
Hi, guys,

If one computer each is used take a look at VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Take a closer look at media streaming (for example http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch02.html\). I think the solution will be to stream the media to each computer.
