[NTLUG:Discuss] LAN sound

[Fred]

Occasionally I connect to my main computer with an
ssh -X session, primarily to read my mail from the living 
room because I'm too lazy to get off the couch. When I 
clickon an attached wmv or avi or whatever else those
dummies send to clog up the net, mplayer launches
on the main system and plays the content. I get the video 
over the lan but no audio. Well, if the office door is open, 
I can barely hear it. How do I get audio over the lan?
