I decided to play around with pico's pipes because they look like fun. The fact that you can stream anything over the pipes made me wonder if audio might even work.
It totally does. On the sub side (client to receive audio)
ssh pipe.pico.sh sub atest | padsp tee /dev/dsp >/dev/null
and on the pub side (server sending audio)
mpg123 audio.mp3 - | ssh pipe.pico.sh pub atest
I've only tried it on the same host, but it works well. Not sure how much network latency will affect it, but it's a fun tool to play with.
