I am trying to run sndplay remotely(via remsh from another unix host) and it 
cannot play the soundfile unless I am doing remsh as root or some one is logged
into the workspace. It also does not allow sndplay if you are running in the
console mode unless you are logged in as root.

ERROR: sndplay : Cannot play soundfile : /tmp/sound1.snd

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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!
