Rather than trying to send sound over the network, why not just set up a program on the machine with the sound card & speakers, and use rsh (remote shell) from the headless machine to the machine that has the sound.
i.e. if [bad condition] then rsh sound-host /usr/local/bin/play-sound Im.dying.wav fi
Or set up syslogd to do network logging, and have some process on the logging host read the logs and speak them or play the appropriate wavs. Lots of other possibilities to send messages and take an action, but piping the audio sounds like putting the complexity in the wrong place.
