I understand that to be able to remote-play soundfiles, the current preference  
manager has to have "public sound server" enabled (see the unix submenu in the  
preference app). If nobody's logged, then it's the root preferences that  
counts: login as root on the machine you want to play and check "public sound  
server" in the preference app.
But if someone is logged that doesn't allow public sound server, then you're  
stuck!
