Quoting Marius Andreiana ...

"Note2: dmix doesn't solve "sound over network" problem. This still
requires a sound server (e.g. MAS, Jack, esd), but the sound server can
be implemented at gstreamer framework level, not application level."

gnome has an esound replacement, gstreamer.  gstreamer is what needs to
talk to a network audio server.
