And from another musician who was having real latency issues over his wired network:

Really cool Chris - didn't know you were a music-head as well

Here's something else we did you might find interesting (yes, that's the same guy in the video);

It's something that was (until very recently) only really possible with iOS (that's two iPod Touches mounted on his arms), though the low-latency you describe can also be achieved with a Windows host.

By the way, funny you hail VmWare fusion as a great solution (and it is!) but fail to mention that, again, due to artificial Apple restrictions, the reverse (i.e. running MacOSX applications alongside Windows or Linux) is not allowed.
