Arg. yes. my terminology is bad there, but the principle still stand!
Regardless of the correct terms, in the mail I wrote the server is the
machine where the app is physically running, and the client is where it
is displayed (it's the same terminology with regards to pulseaudio
servers, and I probably did get that it vaguely right which confused
thing more!)
I blame the phrase "an old client X box" for throwing me off the scent
initially! :p
Anyway for clarification:
App "server" X Terminal
+------------+ +----------+
| No X11 Svr + + X11 Svr +
| No PA Svr + + PA Svr +
| SSH Svr + + SSH Clnt +
+------------+ +----------+

That would be my picture of things (yes I got a crap grade at art!).
You start on the "X terminal" and you want to SSH to "App server" and
run you application with the visual display and the sound of what you
run on your local display/speakers! This is the typical setup most
people want.
Is this what you want Fog_Watch?
The other alternative is that you want to run a local application on
your X Terminal but want the sound output to your App Server's speakers.
Like I say, just clarify what you want to do and I'll try and explain
how to do it!
