AFAIK it is not possible (correct me if I'm wrong, coz I'm curious myslef).
Anyway, even if you succeed... The sound will probably get out of sync with the
game. The sound is a continuous stream of 1.4112 kbit/s. That's not much, but
every now and then your network will generate some "lag" when sending something
over the cable, and the continuity of your stream is not guaranteed. Result: the
sound that's being played (the sound that just came in trough the network
cable) is sound that was emitted by your gaming-machine seconds
ago. Synchronisation is lost... You die, and 5 seconds later you hear the grunt
creep up on you.
But then again, all of this only aplies if it _were_ possible to export sound to
another machine, which I seriously doubt.
Best thing to do is to just buy a new soundcard for the gaming-system. They're
not that expensive.
