Hello!

I wanted to know if it was possible to mount the /dev/dsp of my pc via
netmount on another system. So I tried it out - and it worked. If I do

# cat /dev/urandom > /mnt/net/pc_2/dev/dsp

the soundcard on the remote pc produces a white noise. But I could not
figure out how to play wav/pcm files through this dirty "Streaming API".
Any ideas? Piping the stdout of mplayer doesn't work.
