In case anyone is interested, I will be looking into solutions for remote 
sound support.  I realize that this is not directly an Cygwin/X issue, but it 
would be something that I have not seen with any other packaged X server.  If 
anyone has some suggestions or comments about this, please email me.  I have 
already seen projects in place that appear to work towards remote sound 
support but have not been integrated into anything else.  Now where was that 
project page.....
