How do I transfer a sound file via TCP?

Question

I have a .wav file that I'm trying transfer via TCP.  Using LV 8.5, I modified the "Sound File to Output.vi" example to send the data across a TCP connection to a client vi.  But, I've encountered numerous errors along the way with trying to convert the sound data which is a  1-D array of waveform double.  I've attached my server and client VI, but essentially, what I tried to do is break down the array into the y and dt components, send those over the TCP connection, rebuild the waveform client-side, and then play the waveform.  Is there something I'm missing?  Do I need the timestamp information as well and send that over too?  Please let me know how this can be accomplished.  Thanks!

One thing to clarify: While the Sound Output Write does not need the dt information, the dt information wouold be required when you use the Configure VI in order to set up the rate.  However, you only need to send that parameter once. Thus, it would seem to me that you want to change your client code so that it checks to see if it receives a special command or something to indicate the start of a new song that may have been sampled at a different rate. If this is the case, then you can reconfigure the sound output. Otherwise, all that you're listening for is just song data that you send along to the Sound Output Write.
