Score:  2 out of 3.

USB devices can be accessed locally.  Also K3B works!  (see bug 1583845)

No Audio, even worst.  Parole starts to play, but does not advance. No 
playing at all.  Some alsa problem.  I tried the USB audio device and it 
shows in the controls, but Parole does not provide an option to select 
audio output device.

So back to the USB.  Got to find a way to set the security to allow a 
remote user (at lease one in Wheel group?) access. Recommendations 
welcomed, and I will try googling some.
