Network audio has bothered me for quite a while in Linux, and I have 
made a simplistic program that allows for using networked audio. Thought 
it might be of some use.

git repo: http://github.com/Themaister/RSound.git, which is the 
stdin-based client, and rsoundserv. rsoundserv currently supports ALSA, 
OSS(v4), libao, and PortAudio (for having compability with cygwin and 
probably OSX too.), although it'd probably work best with ALSA or OSS as 
it is now. It allows multiple connections.

I have also made an audio driver for MPlayer that acts as an rsound 
client. Like, -ao rsound:host=<host>:port=<port>. It is in early 
development, but it might create some interest. Patch can be found here:
