already tried that. Works fine when playing loose samples, but is useless
when you run apps that send their audio directly to /dev/dsp.

On the sound server: export /dev/dsp 
on the client: mount /dev/nd0 and link it to dsp, or rename nd0 to dsp
with the correct major and minor numbers for a nbd. 
(well, if /dev/dsp was a block device).
