If you have a sufficiently long speaker cables. :)
You can always try using Cat5/6 cable as audio cable also, although this is a bit too
short for internets.
Perhaps it's enough just to direct the sound to network, something like a stream.
Yeah, this is something related to client/server software,
not particularly related to server machine sound hardware.

And probably applies to all remote desktop solutions independent of platform.
