dLAN Audio World streams audio over HomePlug

We've never been huge fans of HomePlug -- 5GHz WiFi is our preferred obscure networking tech -- but the new dLAN Audio system from Arkados and devolo AG might have us reconsidering. The various dLAN components all simply plug into power outlets and connect to each other, instantly creating a whole-house audio streaming system. Arkados and devolo are hyping iPod compatibility, but we don't care about sources, really -- we just want to see how crazy speaker and radio designs can get when both power and signal are coming from one plug. Sadly, there are no pics, pricing, or availability yet, but we'll keep our eyes peeled.

So do all the devices have to be on the same circuit to work? If not, what about people who live in apartment buildings? Can I share my music with the old lady on the 5th floor?

That press release was predictably vague, but I will hold my judgment until further specs are forthcoming,

With that said, I'm having fantastic results with a HomePlug AV network and a Roku Soundbridge and Firefly server.
