Nope; you're not on the console, so you're not using the soundcard.
You _could_ use esd to do this, but it's a little insecure and kinda a
pain. Esd would route the sound to your local esd, where it'd play on
your machine. (Yeah, it's a kind of magic...)
:)
Is this something you need, or just having fun? If you need it, you
might think about using that machine's webserver to host the files, and
play'em from mplayer/bmp/xmms/etc.
