I don't know the answer to this question, but I know where I'd look for
one. I monitor a listserv called k12osn (it's a discussion by mostly
sysadmins about k12ltsp - a Linux terminal server project distro aimed at
running on computers in educational settings). The issue of remote sound
comes up frequently, since the client terminals often need to have thier
own sound. I think they have a Wiki, and maybe the question would be
ansered there. Or else you'd probably find alot on the topic in the
archive. Hope this helps.
