The only exception I can think of is when a single source is streaming to multiple and/or different receivers/endpoints.
It depends how much buffering the user is willing to accept. When I first installer AIR (2), the default buffer size was set to about 15 seconds (OSX > Wi-Fi > Ether > 200), which was highly inconvenient when skipping tracks frequently or wanting to fast pace or backtrack. This kind of control you cannot achieve with TCP, even in the home environment (who knows what other traffic is also competing; there is a lot in my setup).
