Sounds like its going to use a lot of bandwidth to me.  

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't /dev/dsp for raw sound data AFTER
conversion FROM e.g. MP3 OGG WAV etc?  So "redirecting" /dev/dsp will
probably lag your network substantially.  I think this is a very cool
idea though, and you're probably on the right track.
