haha, your pets will soon develop a complex thinking that you're
"everywhere"!!

um, anyway, I _get_ sound from a windows xp box using rdesktop (rdesktop
-r sound ...) however the rdesktop man page says "Redirects sound
generated on the server to the client." so it sounds (haha) like it's
one-way.  Don't know if it's worth looking into...

There's also this one you could try if you have a pci sound card:
 -r lspci
        Activates the lspci channel, which allows the server to  enumer-
        ate  the  clients PCI devices. See the file lspci-channel.txt in
        the documentation for more information.

good luck!
