:} Quick answer would be to set up Redhat.
Straight answer would be "I don't know".
But... the reason I thought, maybe, I could justify wasting bandwidth is that
after reading this and looking down at the floor at my MOTU firewire card {which
connects to anything with a wire.} It occured to me... What would be wrong with
piping stuff in and out via firewire or USB {or any other sound capable wire}
and using some sort of network sound system?
...Probably not a great answer but it's something to consider.
