Polypaudio is network transparent, as is esd. Polypaudio provides high
precision latency measurements. You'll lose precision when using it
over a network, but you wouldn't use networked audio over on long
latency network and expect exact synchronization anyway, would you?

The synchronization features in polypaudo work quite well, at least
for the mplayer drivers I wrote. What is it what you require for
"proper synchronization" in addition to what polypaudio provides?
