The standard way of doing it is to run a sound server locally and have
the X application forward to the port the sound server listens to. I
haven't done it myself, though.

"The esound daemon (esd) supports sending audio to a remote esd running
on another machine. For programs that don't supports esd directly, you
can start them using esddsp to capture their output to /dev/dsp and send
it through esd." Bryan Voss
