Haven't had time to test anything, just some quick notes. I was fiddling
with the QSocket/QSocketDevice stuff, doing some benchmarks, looks like
giving QSocket (backend) a big chunk and letting it do the slicing 
internally is just as fast as using QSD, so it's probably better to
stick with QS on the backend for stability/error handling reasons.

You can make your frontend think it's remote (for the most part...) with
the following changes, playing a recording then uses the network stuff:

mainserver.cpp:
void MainServer::HandleQueryRecordings(QString type, PlaybackSock *pbs)
{
    QSocket *pbssock = pbs->getSocket();
-    bool islocal = pbs->isLocal();
+    bool islocal = false; //pbs->isLocal();



ringbuffer.cpp:
RingBuffer::RingBuffer(const QString &lfilename, bool write, bool needevents)
                QFile checkFile(local_pathname);
+/*
                if (checkFile.exists())
                {
                    is_local = true;
                    filename = local_pathname;
                }
+*/
