I seem to remember a sound daemon that was supposed to do this... what was it...
Oh Yeah, esound:
http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html
But it doesn't appear to be under development anymore (last update to the web page was
in 2000.)
Hmmm, these are interesting (from a google search on 'sound daemon'):
http://asd.sourceforge.net/
But nothing's happened with that for over a year
http://gstreamer.net/
Looks like it's being actively developed, but...

Actively developed! Last post on the news page, 7/7/2002!

Hmmm... looks like a lot of work to even figger outwhat it is.

Started by Loki, and, well, you know...
Then there's the linux sound page with gobs of links:
http://linux-sound.org/, a mirror of:
http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/
I looked into this a couple years ago and never managed to get anything working. But
it wasn't a high priority. I'd be interested if you find something that works.
