First: If you look at the obvious places you can find the following:
Network Audio Server or NAS in your installation. Relevent lsm entry:
Description:    (Network Audio System)
                The Network Audio System is a distributed sound system
                which includes a server program (au) which can receive au=
dio
                requests via TCP. Additionally, there are number of clien=
t
                programs which can play sound files in various formats,
                edit sound files, and convert sound files to different
formats.
                Of course, a client library (libaudio.a) and header files=

                are included for additional software development.

                Binaries and RPM files provided by Jeremie Petit
                (petit@xxxxxxxxxx) and coming with no warranty.
Keywords:       nas, sound, audio, X11
Author:         (Jim Fulton, Greg Renda, and Dave Lemke)
Maintained-by:  nas-request@xxxxxxx (NAS mailing list)
Primary-site:   ftp.x.org /contrib/audio/nas
                594952 nas-1.2p5.tar.gz
Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/apps/sound
                578514 nas-1.2p5-1.i386.rpm

Also there is another project called Enlightenment Sound Daemon under
Enlightenment at http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html for the beautifu=
l
sound apps in E although I do not know if it is similar to NAS.

PS: People, please do a little bit of search first and then ask questions=
 and
then try to give better/accurate answers to querries instead of saying I =
know
it can be done but I do not know what/where I can find it. Remember one c=
an do
anything and everything in Linux but getting info how to do it is difficu=
lt so
try to provide specific answers or links to them (besides it saves bandwi=
dth).
