The P100 is basically just running ESD and a printer daemon.  I start the
sound daemon with `esd -tcp -public -nobeeps &'.  In XMMS, I just pick the
Esound output plugin in the preferences, and configure it to point to the
audio `server'. I've also been able to get RealPlayer to output over the
network by setting the ESPEAKER environment variable before starting the
program (you also have to set up RealPlayer to use ESD output in
preferences).
