A bit of poking around with apt-cache search turned up the
yiff-server package:
Description: Y Sound Server
YIFF is a network based and multi client connection system that
supports X Window Systems style event and client handling. Internal
3D sound support and client to server IO wrapper code is also available.
YIFF is OSS, ALSA, YSound and Y2N compliant.
.
More information can be found at the YIFF web site

Looks like that might be what you're looking for.
