_No_ hardware connection would be a tough nut to crack :-).

Couldn't you already do something like this either using iSCSI and
ide-scsi (player uses a local connection to a remote drive) or esound
(player is remote where the drive is, but the interface is local via X11
and the sound is local via libesd)?  I think the latter is probably more
sensible, because it probably only involves adding the host-selection code
(presumably you could just default to the host with the display being
used).
