Its certainly been suggested in the past and I believe Meridian already considered it, albeit rejecting it due, as Nick suggests, to timing issues.

Still think that an audio endpoint in the master DSP would be good though - slave linked conventionally or a dedicated network that could be synchronized accurately. Then upstream devices would communicate via standard packet based network protocols rather than a synchronized audio stream subject that was subject to jitter.
