Almost all of this is done for many years now by nas
( Network Audio Sound )

Can be found in the contrib directory of X11R? site
( try ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/audio/nas/ )

IT also work on almost any UNIX platform.

Another similar package is rplay avaliable from :
sunsite-mirror/apps/sound/servers/
nas is also there ...

Another system is AF ( Audio File ) from
Digital Equipment Corp.

They allow sound over network and some other goodies.
They have also some client program for playing WAVE and similar files ....

I personally like most nas , I works well with a mixture of sounds
with different sample-rate , while AF has a compile-time option for
sampling-rate ( default 8000 kHz ) so it is useless in practice ...

PArty on !
