It uses RTP to sync audio on multiple "speakers" to near delta zero time-sync. Still in development last I looked at it but getting better every day. If you want to use MFE in the place of MythMusic it will take some modifying of your current theme's and of course firing up the MFD on all the "speakers" as well as the source of all your music files. If there's interest maybe I can type more but I'm sure I know little compared to what you can get from looking on SVN.
