I use the esound esd running on the thin client... I set up the sound on
the gnome sound
pointing to ESD ... it uses the $DISPLAY env and works....
the freeBSD kernel on the thin client loads the sound module based on a
configuration
per thin-client using kldload... there is a configuration saved in the
server for each
thin client... and the /usr filesystem is shared... 

I use BSD on the SUN 4 with diskless boot... back in the years 198X

so was quite easy to "remember" how things were done at that time...
if it works on a "286" speed machine... why will not on an AMD 64???    

I am 54  and work with UNIX since the 197X....  on VAX...
