Okay, here's the question:

I've got one Linux box (very steady, AMD K6 MMX, 2.2.17 kernel, most recent
X) which I use for my main workstation. It's got a nice display card,
damned-fine soundcard (SoundBlaster Platinum Live 5.1 with the front patch
panel, etc), and generally it works great.

I have two servers, and generally I get to them with 'ssh' or Kerberos
'rlogin'. They've got much better bandwidth, and work where "runsocks
<application>" won't quite deal with the situation, as in streaming video,
etc.

As a rule, if I am Kerbed into one of the other servers, and I want to run
Netscape or something else that relies on "X", I just login and export the
display, as in 

export DISPLAY="10.0.0.1:0.0" ; netscape

etc etc etc., 10.0.0.1 being the localhost X IP address.

Now, this is just fine, unless of course I'm trying to run something like
RealPlayer or 'xanim', in which case I get the video component delivered to
me with no problems... however, the audio component doesn't transfer; I get
messages to the effect of "can't access /dev/dsp" which isn't surprising,
since those servers don't have soundcards.

So, the final question is, "how the heck do I get the sound, as well as the
video, redirected to the local workstation?"

Will I have to do goofy stuff like running ShoutCast or somesuch, and
redirecting the audio output from the RealPlayer (etc) to ShoutCast or
IceCast, and then picking up the audio locally, doubtless with total loss of
synchronization?

Ideas, anyone?
