hah! the dsp trick actually works surprisingly well IF you combine it with lame (iirc).

yeah the quality is going to be terrible and your going to hear a lot hissing but it will work!

might want to try esd instead. When I was looking to try networking sound for a thin client thats the closest I got.

Pulseaudio is perfect for this nowadays. A bit more modern than esd, I'd say.

Back in college we did something similar, but much less technologically advanced, to a roommate's linux box that he hooked up to speakers.

We found a lot of fun sounds to blast at him while he slept. :)
