Remote desktop and music

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a desktop PC which I control through XPs remote desktop feature
from my Laptop PC.

The desktop PC has speakers attached to it, and I want to control what
it plays through managing its Media Player through my laptop (eg remote
desktop)....

The problem is that when my desktop pc is controlled through remote
desktop, it doesn't output any sound through its speakers. I guess
this is due to remote desktop (the laptop) is taking over the
soundoutput..

Is there any way around this, eg to achieve it so that the laptop can
become the "remote" for what the desktop pc plays through its
speakers?

Thanks
