Nah, that isn't the Plan 9 way. You just need the right kind of
network filesystem access to get at /dev on a remote system.
NFS won't do, since it just ships you the dev_t value.
(or, ignoring odd operations, is this a client-side NFS problem?)
One would also want to make a per-process /dev union mount.
This gets you a /dev/audio that always produces local sound.
It ruins the fun of a huge lab + /dev/audio + emacs executable.
