How to turn your flat into a night club

Today I had to clean up my flat, but I was lazy. I decided that some music will be welcomed. However, even if my flat is not so big, I have three rooms and if I play music in one of them, I can't hear it everywhere. By chance, there's a computer connected to speakers in each.
So, to listen your playlist on every computer, do like me: just install esound on each computer and run esd -tcp -public (esd without option is sufficient for your master). On your master, run also esdmon | esdcat -s slave1 and esdmon | esdcat -s slave2, and so on. This will listen to you local esd and pipe the sound to your slaves via network.
Then grab your favorite audio player which should be esd-capable (my xmms is), and play files to your local esound daemon. Listen... it plays everywhere!
Next step is to invite me, some friends and hot chicks to your party.

that solution doesn't deal with freq deviations between your soundcards. You better use PulseAudio (it's an esound drop-in) and its module-combine.
Thanks for the tip!
esd belongs to esound package, and esd(mon|cat) to esound-clients package.
For mplayer the option is "-ao esd".
