ON a similar front I have successfully managed to use NAS with KDE 3.1
artsd and RedHat 9 to have sound on our local workstations. Realplayer,
xmms and KDE sounds work great. The KMIX control even works to control
realplay and xmms, however controlling the volume for the KDE internals
requires using aumix-minimal on the workstation via rsh to control it. 

As a guide I used some tips I found on a similar setup back in KDE2 days
I found on a google search. You have to build the NAS stuff (i used 1.6)
first. Then rebuild qt using --with-nas-sound. Then kdemultimedia gets
rebuilt using --with-nas-library=/nas-lib-location=nas-location and
--with-nas-includes=nas-include-location. Last the kdelibs gets rebuilt
with no config changes BUT have to be rebuilt in the environment with
nas support.

KDE then needs sound configured with "network transparent" as the I/O
method. I am currently betat testing LTSP and nas with 5-10 users (about
10% of my user base) and I see no major scaling issue...yet. We plan to
roll out on all users in 2004 after production servers are built. 

I would gladly put together a "real Howto" about this with far more
detail if there is enough demand for it.
