The Helix player (Open Sourced Real Player) seems to work with the libaudio library to a NAS device. I'm able to play a .ram file over the network to my thin client. It's not perfect, but not too bad. It has a nice GNOME front end around it now as well, and those of you with NCD terminals, they have fixed the Endian bugs.
