Both artsd and esd support network audio over TCP themselves 
already and have for years.  I use esd as a network audio server 
for about 2 years now between 2 machines to have all sound come 
out one set of speakers.

Set the ESPEAKER variable to point to the machine running esd (on 
client side), and read esd's commandline options, and make sure 
no firewall is in the way.

artsd is a bit more crackrock to set up (which is why I used esd 
instead), but it works also.  One thing I'm not sure of is wether 
artsd is itself using NAS, or if it has it's own builtin stuff.  
Been ages since I played with it.

Hope this helps.
