I now routinely use two computers (both running openSUSE 11.1, both on x86 hardware, though entirely distinct in details) but have only one set of speakers. I would like to have one of these systems send its sound output to the other system rather than to its own sound hardware. I gather this is possible, but haven't been able to find much information on how to exploit the capability.

Could someone give me the outline of setting something like this up or point me to some informational materials?

Any other tips, hints, pointers or suggestions?

You can define a sink on a remote machine and all the sound should just go there. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Configuring_Sound_on_Linux/Pulse_Audio/Remote_s...
