[SLUG] Sound redirecting

Ok, this question is along the lines of the "How do I display from one
box in another". I'm interested in running XMMS (or another mp3 player
program) on my laptop to play songs that are on my server (it's all one
network).

Q-1) I know how to set the permissions and display so that I can run an
app from my server and see it on my laptop.
     a) set permissions on laptop to allow displays from server
     b) on server, export DISPLAY=laptop-address:0
Is there any way to redirect sound the same way?
     (example:
          a) set permissions on laptop to allow sounds from server
          b) onserver, export SOUND_OUT=laptop-address:snd-card)

Q-2) Is there a way that, running XMMS on the laptop, I can go into
through the network to se server (via XMMS), go to the folder that I
have my MP3s in and just play them directly from there?
     (example: command_line~> xmms 192.168.1.101:/home/gnorb/mp3/)

Q-3) Am I about to learn about IceCast servers?

TIA

Gnorb
