-You can setup PulseAudio to serve your needs. Let's say you have 2 systems.
SystemA and SystemB and assuming that they can see each other. Let SystemA
be the PulseAudio server and SystemB be the PulseAudio client.

-Make sure PulseAudio daemon is started at least on SystemA:
#ps -ely|grep -i pulse

on SystemA(Server):
--------------------
-run 'paprefs'. And perform the configuration as follows.

NetworkAccessTab:
  EnableNetworkAccessToLocalSoundDevices=yes
  AllowOtherMachinesOnTheLanToDiscoverLocalSoundDevices=yes
  Don'tRequireAuthentication=yes
  MakeDiscoverableNetworkSoundDevicesAvailableLocally=yes
MulticastTab:
  EnableMulticast/RtpReceiver=yes
  EnableMulticast/RtpSender=yes
    SendAudioFromLocalMicrophone=no
    SendAudioFromLocalSpeakers=yes
    CreateSeparateAudioDeviceForMulticast/Rtp=no

-now play an audio file. Make sure that your systems sound configuration is
configured to use PulseAudio.

On SystemB(client):
-------------------
-run 'tcpdump' to look for any multicast from the SystemA. Take note of the
multicast ip and port# (eg. 224.0.x.x). You'll need to refer to it later in
the player on SystemB.  On my system, it's 224.0.0.56.46946.

$ sudo tcpdump -n net 224.0.0.0/8 -c 10

$ mplayer -demuxer rawaudio -rawaudio
channels=2:rate=44100:samplesize=2:format=0x10001 rtp://224.0.0.56.46946

-Note: As you can see, i'm using 'mplayer' in this example. but you can use
another that support RTP streaming.  Take note of the parameter values that
is specified with 'mplayer', you'd have to probably enter it in you player.


Caveat: Please note that the configuration in this posting is extremely open
and could potentially cause security concerns.  The purpose is to show you
how to get things running and you can tweak the settings to suit your need.
