when you ssh into kiosk, your prompt will now be user@kiosk. if you just
run mpg123 mysong.mp3, it will have the output on your machine but you
won't here music.

say you run screen, then fire up xmms (or mpg123), xmms will be seen not
on your machine, but on kiosk. so if you play music, it gets pumped out
the good speakers on kiosk.

i know this because i've done it before... saves the hassle of running
vnc just to get music coming out of the really good speakers (yes, my
laptop's speakers don't do all that well).
