If you don't want to use networking, you can have an inexpensive card
like M-Audio 2496 send SPDIF to the other machine for playback. Evn
some cheaper builtin sound cards now come with SPDIF output... I have
a HP machine I bought for cheap on eBay and it has a built-in SPDIF
output, and I send that to my Linux box which has the good soundcard
(RME) and big monitors.
