if you have the kaffeine media player installed (on both boxes) it has 
options to do this, so does VLC. Oh maybe you mean sound on one and 
video on the other in which case I dunno, except you could just switch 
off the speakers. The sound/video sync won't be great, but I'm not sure 
any method when done via ethernet would be very good as there'd always 
be a delay.
