KDE 3 doesn't, directly, but the arts system it uses can be configured with an esd backend, and PA can emulate that. For network sound I would suggest PulseAudio, which isn't absolutely trivial to get working, but does a very good job of integrating zeroconf via avahi to allow you to get the network side zero-configuration. Their wiki has a good reference to integrating PulseAudio: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup Also, I have no idea what PCLOS is based on, so comment on how effectively it works with PA, or vice-versa.
