No one said every server needs a sound card. You only need one machine
in a noisy location with a sound card.
I was refering to my own workstation which _is_ in a busy office
and which my CA box (which is in a nice quiet locked room) is able to gather
sound samples from with no pain.
My workstations and servers are sun's and thus have audio support built in.
Its a non-issue. Also given that you only need one sound card in a nice
busy location - it is not a big deal.

You mean for them to hear. Quite true, but still largely irrelevant.
>Thus, I suggest that it is unreasonable to assume a sound card is present.
YMMV depending on what you choose to use for workstations.
