Calvin,
The X Window System protocol does not transmit sound across the network.
There are a few extension protocols and X-related protocols that transmit
audio across the network. For more information, see the To-Do entry
regarding network transparent audio at:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html
Hopefully that clears things up,
Harold
