I'm using Cygwin/X on my Win2K laptop to connect to

Here is how I connect from the Win2K laptop:
startx -> brings up an xterm
ssh <bsd box> on the xterm
run bsd commands on the xterm
I can do this easily but the music now comes out of
the speakers on the FreeBSD box. Since it's a wireless
connection I'm not always where the speakers are.
Thanks for any advice,
ESound (or ESD) is designed for this purpose. I think it is available
as cygwin package. Check the documentation of that package on how to
setup the sound forwarding.

I have installed it and used it, it's not very complicated at all. If
you have any trouble getting it to work I'd be more than happy to give
you a hand.
For some reason, it causes XMMS to lockup when I try to use ESD, but
everything else seemed to work OK.
