I do most of my work over ssh on a remote linux server where I also keep most of my files. I'd like to be able to hear any sounds that normally would be on the PC speaker. Is there a way to have sound be sent through my ssh session along with the terminal display?

1I would suggest PulseAudio, if it weren't such a bandwidth hog. – u1686_grawity Jan 17 '12 at 12:39

You can use pulseaudio for streaming audio.
But i would suggest mounting remote filesystem on a local folder using sshfs and playing files from there.
mkdir mountfolder
sshfs username@remotehost:/ mountfolder

thanks for this, it's something I've been wanting to do but too lazy to look up. – Rob Jan 17 '12 at 17:09

Is there a way to put the system audio though using pulseaudio? I really just want to be able to hear the server beep when I'm highlighted in irssi. – devnill Jan 23 '12 at 14:13
