=How to play Audacity over network using pulseaudio sound server=

If you use pulse-audio as sound server, you can use <nowiki>module-native-protocol-tcp</nowiki> to accept tcp connection from your remote machine.

In the following example, I use an ssh tunnel to forward the audio request from remote machine to the local one.

On the local machine, do something like:

 $ pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1
 $ ssh -XC -R 9999:127.0.0.1:4713 pvdm@192.168.1.1

then on remote machine you can use:

 $ paplay -s 127.0.0.1:9999 soundfile.wav
 $ padsp -s 127.0.0.1:9999 audacity

ADDED I discovered that auth-ip-acl does not accept localhost as a valid parameter, you have to use 127.0.0.1 (or whatever your machine uses localhost address).
