I want to do the same thing. This afternoon I'm going to try to implement
the following idea:

1) on the client box where I plan to listen to the sound (music in my
case), I'm going to listen for incoming tcp/ip connections using nc or
the like and pipe the stream to /dev/dsp locally.

2) on the server box where the sound is to originate, I'm going to replace
/dev/dsp with a local unix socket, open it using nc or the like, establish
a tcp/ip connection to the client box and stream the data.

Does this sound like a stupid idea to anyone?
