HI, I am new in this mailing list.
I don't know if I understood completely but maybe VNC is good for you?

I had considered VNC, there are some plus and minus sides to it.
On the plus side, applications can be started up and kept active
regardless of the state of the connection. All the applications are
running on the remote (desktop/tower/server) machine, so it doesn't
matter how slow the client is.
On the minus side, you'd have to first log-in to the remote and start a
session (would rather not have a session that automatically starts);
things such as XDMCP and (I think) RDP start sessions on connect.
Also, I think running a VNC client means you have to log into some full
X-session; I expect setting up the barest minimum of window managers
could limit the resources needed locally (would really only need 2 icons
on the workspace/dock; one to ssh to the remote to start the VNC server,
and one for the local VNC client).
Ultimately the biggest issue is the lack of a standard/protocol for
remote sound.
