Hello, I would like push audio streams over ethernet and was wondering 
what avenues people have tried. I intend to have two linux boxes (or 
more). Box1 has the user interface and all of the audio data. Box2 has 
no user interface and is plugged into an amplifier and speakers. 
Eventually I would like to have many Box2's. I envision an application  
with a server running on box2 and a client running on box1. Ideally the 
client would create an ALSA input and the server would create an ALSA 
output. Then, the client connects to the server, any ALSA enabled app 
connects to the input created by the client, and audio is heard from the 
speakers connected to the server. I have no expectations that such an 
application actually exists. I'm curious as to what options do exists to 
push audio over etherenet. -Garett
