To Huck:

That's right.  There's a daemon that the LTSP folks (Boris Reisig, I 
think?) came up with that spits the sound out to the thin client's 
*local* sound card.  That means that you hook up speakers to the thin 
client's own sound card, play, say, a MPEG file on the K12LTSP server, 
and yes, you hear the sound at your thin client.  Now, that's what I 
call a Very Cool Hack!

To Norbert:

Yup, you got it!  That's all I did.
