You may already know this, but if you need to run _anything_ remotely on
linux including x11 aps, well vnc does the job.  A simple vnc xserver
and vnc client and you can do whatever.

Your approach sounds simpler though which is always good.

I have a vncserver setup to auto load realplayer and then to play a
audio stream I like.  There are audio cables connected various places
and a simple "vncserver" command from console is enough to get it going.

Of course if anyone knows a way to play .rm internet streams directly
from the console I'd definitely be curious.
