NFS should take care of the LAN:

And below are some quotes I "stole" a while back from in here:

NFS.

First, make sure that you have installed NFS support.  Then,
edit /etc/exports (search the web for syntax, if you need), or open
System | Administration | Shared Folders, and set up your shares.

Then, to connect to them from another machine, just do this:

sudo mount machine:/share /mnt/mountpoint

If you will use them all the time, add the shares to your /etc/fstab so
that it automatically mounts at boot-time...
<end stolen quotes>

As for the sound, that's better handled by one of the gurus in here.
Good luck with the new setup! (:
