"Just a couple of points. To stream audio successfully for instance from a NAS to a music server 100 Mb is more than sufficient"There are a number of factors that influence netowrk capacity.
1. What else is being used on the network.
2. What is the peak load, and what is the typical load.
3. The latency of the network (or lag).The magic number seems to be 20% for overall bandwidth to avoid degradation of sound (sounds like jittery digital) or to have compression in the video (which usually ins't much bigger a stream than audio!). But if you are going through a couple of switches, you might need to be less loaded, still.
ANd if you have a bunch of appliances on the network that pop up once in awhile ... you might need more overhead, too.
To do the simplistic math you have, is to not take into account peaks, interrupts, and latency.
100Mbps *ought to be fine* until you consider other things.
But there are other things within the 100Mbps, too. The gear you have chose to use (unshielded or shielded cable? A 100BaseT switch will have more latency than a gigabit switch, and cause your network to lag even more.
This isn't a simple thing!
