I currently have a RasPi running arch connected to the speakers -- I've been cat-ing audio files over ssh to mplayer, and that mostly works (no fast-forward/skip). I also tried using reverse-ssh and sshfs to mount my files on the RasPi, but that seems silly.

Something like /dev/dsp1, perhaps. If I could have some audio sent to the RasPi and leave mcabber's chat notifications on my laptop's speakers, that'd be fantastic.

12 I don't know what desktop env you are running, but would PulseAudio be
13 an option? You could send the audio from your program (browser) to the
14 Pi but keep the chat notification on your local machine.
