Hi, I am consdering using a thinclient as a way of reducing noise. I am 
intending to move my linux box into another room and access via

- P90 with 32mbRAM, eepro100 (pci) with a boot rom (intel boot rom)

- possibly using USB massstorage for swap space

But I really need sound output to stay with the client. I have a spare 
soundcard but I've no idea how to get sound going from server to client.

I'm looking at NAS (Network Audio System) but I'm unsure how to implement 
this if I'm booting off the network.

Is this possible when booting off the network or would removable media such 
as CD be a requirement?

Also, can I use VLC (Video Lan Client) to retain the ability to watch 
videos?

I find it a shame that the X protocol is so bandwidth intensive. I don't 
mind up giving up the ability to play games but I don't want to lose sound 
and ability to watch videos.

TIA for your expertise :)
