    Why not just use the -C flag with ssh and port forward the port 
using ssh as well (-L ...)? The only problem would be with sharing the 
soundcard/port, since I'm not sure if only one user can connect and use 
esd at one time. However, this can be setup per-user given a little 
foreknowledge and planning.
