I tried out my little setup with Oddcast and RX used to send audio from a remote location over a 3G phone and had very ugly problems. Highest bitrate without skipping was 48kbps which is ok over AAC+ but not great. Is there any software that exists for doing this over 3G with great sound quality like AAC+? The biggest thing we're lacking here is bandwidth and error control, auto fallback would be nice if it notices the stream can't be pushed at the current bitrate...

Try skype, as long as you are doing voice. The software seems to have an auto-fallback. We used it for awhile until we got our Comrex Access system. It worked well except when the G3 cell traffic was really high in our area. 15 minutes before football kickoff, we were be booted from the network a lot and had a lot of stuttering and s-l-o-w audio. The Comrex tries mightily to overcome this problems as well, and usually does better than a straight PC/Skype.
I wonder if anyone has tried using a Barix Instreamer in RTP mode over, let's say the Sprint network with one of those cute boxes that they have now that you can slam one of their PCMCIA cards in and it provides a cat 5 lan on the other side? I bet it would work pretty decently...
Yep, I'm definately tempted to just buy an Instreamer-Extreamer combo since that protocol is robust.
Something else I thought of as well, most places probably have wifi in range which means you can buy a "game adaptor" that is basically a Wifi-Ethernet bridge, also routers with the open-source DD-WRT firmware are capable of this as well, and just stream through that.
