RE: How do i use a *remote* sound card
Yes it is possible, you need the nasd daemon (network audio system) on the server and nas (a client that supports nas).
I have done this for proof-of-concept before with mplayer (remote display the full video stream (1-6MB/s) and then audio on top of that with the network daemon, it was not quite 30fps but it worked.

Version 1.7 (stable) has been finally released!
Welcome to the NAS Homepage. The Network Audio System is a network transparent, client/server audio transport system. It can be described as the audio equivalent of an X server. Enjoy!
The current stable release version of NAS is now at 1.7
Thanks to Scott Winder, this website and it's packages are now mirrored at http://nas.codebrilliance.com/

Subject: How do i use a *remote* sound card
I'd like to be able to use a sound card on a different computer as if it
was local - is that possible at all?
Background: As many others, I use a laptop. With speakers of rather
dubious quality. As it happens, I have another box (my MythTV box)
which is connected to proper speakers.
So I imagine having a "sound card" in ALSA that really connects to the
real sound card on the remote computer - and voila, my radio listening
is suddenly bearable again...
Ideas anybody?
