Can Apple Remote Desktop route audio to selected computers across network?

Can ARD be used to route audio output (e.g. from iTunes) across the network? If not, suggestions would be appreciated.

I remember that there was a -display option on Unix commands that let us run applications remotely and wondered if that might be a start to getting this task to work.

The intention is to feed audio-streamed data out to networked iMacs for use during classroom tests, controlled from a central admin computer in a different room. None of the classroom iMacs in question have iTunes on them, since it was removed to keep the machines more focused on classroom activities.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 2.2 GHz, 2 MB

Sorry but no, ARD does not support audio across the network in any form.

Airfoil supports streaming of audio to other computers. I don't know if it will stream to multiple computers simultaneously, but you could check.

Regards.
