It says that it's based on omxplayer, which I believe is commonly
used for playing MP3s as well as videos on the Pi. Generally any
package that supports video playback supports audio as well because
there's little extra effort in adding support for that. Still I said
"_might_ be useful" because I hadn't looked too closely at it. If the
client-server system matches exactly what the OP is after (I've got
no idea if it does), maybe it would be a good starting point if not
an immediate solution.

I'm thinking that USB sound adapters shouldn't be hard to get working
if not recognised by default, but I might be wrong.
