I am setting up a Linux Server that will be providing user session services. Linux ad materials clearly indicate that a user session will support his video, mouse, keyboard and sound at the user's station (albeit a Winterm, Terminal, or PC running asession client).

Has ANYONE EVER setup a system where the user has sound coming from any application running in his Linux Server's session?

Remember: NOT the console, but via a session. (If you've done this, then you'll know the differences between the console and a session.)

If you have, are you willing to discuss it or steer me to a document that describe How To do it?

You should use the Linux Terminal Server Project (www.ltsp.org). This will setup an X-Windows Server enviroment.

Now About the sound:

You will need to use the NASD files supplied with the Linux Terminal Server Project. There is some tweaking needed to be done such as adding the directory containing the NASD Lib files to your user's LD_PRELOAD paramter.
