I will use Noatun, not good ig it crashes...

My Netwrok-access was meant more for playing the file on the fast Box 
(Decoding the mp3, mixing with other sound my system makes) and then send all 
to the box with the SBLive!.
Another goal is to be able to do 4-track recordings with 2 computers. This has 
latency problems I know, but It should be possible...

BTW: In the much discussed directory kdenonbeta/knk/network I am trying to do 
this for midi and perhaps sometimes for audio to.
