They can also brodcast to the outside world, if you wish (to your work, e.g.).
And pulseaudio definitely works in a local network.

From their website:
It is a free cross-platform media player
It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need
for additional codecs
It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features
(video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)
I'm a complete yutz wrt multimedia and Linux but VideoLan has given my
desktop life. Just for the heckuvit I've run multiple instances so I
could listen to songs "in the round".
It runs very nicely on a 1G 512 white box.
Highly recommended.

But ampache is "hors concours". It is far just the best of all.
