That was predicted (and suggested) by Glenn Gould some forty years ago. At the time, anything with higher fidelity than, say, a bad telephone connection, was analogue, but we were stepping into the world of quadraphonic sound (which died soon after in the analogue kingdom), but he was a big proponent of the listener as participant (hey, it was Toronto and McLuhan was still around) and was convinced that technology was the only limiting factor at the time. (To put thing in perspective, he was also very much anti-concert--he hated what he called the "non-take-two-ness" of live performance.) Let's just say that the idea was no more popular among artists then than it is now.
