Thanks I think you have started me in the right direction. A quick search of
kde.org for soundserver (aRts returns nothing, go figure) took me to this
link.
http://www.kde.com/docs/d/kdecontrib/KControl/2.0/en/sndserver.html
It basicly states what you said, that checking Enable Network Transparency
and exchange security and reference info of X11 should do just that. Send
the sound back to the "MachineA".
I enabled these options, restarted X on "MachineB" and tried the connection
again and to my dismay the sound was still on MachineB.
I will have to do some more reading and searching, I couldn't find anything
relating to this in the KDE Bug tracking system. So I can assume one of 2
things. It works as advertised and I haven't found the right configuration
combo or what I am trying to do is unusal enough that no one else has
stumbled on it as a "bug" yet.
Thanks Again,
Jerry
