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 ...
