Well, I wouldn't mind - I prefer to not solo, but play together - I was brought up musically expecting that rather than the pseudo-glory of being a soloist. Actually, I find solo work easier than working together, cause one can be totally selfish - working with others needs the ability to listen to others and fit in - which I fond more satisfying.

technically there have been considerable advances, one could play ones part into the mike while listening to headphones. Multi-tracking is not absolutely necessary for this, but if some program is "chosen" (and I will ignore the "choosing process" for the moment!) - it should be relatively cheap enough to allow us all to buy a legal copy.
