Your server doesn't need a sound card in the way that it doesn't really need a graphics card to provide X11 graphics. In both cases, the terminal server is running applications as sound or X clients (respectively), and your terminals are running sound and X servers (respectively). You can also think of it how an Internet streaming audio (e.g. Shoutcast/ Real Audio) server does not need a sound card, but it plays sound through computers.
