Well, it definitely CAN be done. :) When I boot into XP I use a remote X connection to my other PC to get a proper desktop to work with, and I use pulse to get my sound across. Doing it through an SSH tunnel is going to complicate it slightly but it should still be very doable. Here's a brief writeup I did a few months ago on connecting pulse on an XP box to a Linux box running ESD. http://www.the-love-shack.net/2007/08/23/forwarding-esd-played-sounds-to-a-remote-machine/ The only difference with connecting pulse-to-pulse instead of pulse-to-esd is that instead of using ESPEAKER you'll want to use PULSE_SERVER.
