Yes, unlike well-known thin client solution, LTSP(Linux Terminal Server Project, http://www.ltsp.org/\), DRBL client will act as a "fat client" which means it can use/access sound device, USB device, etc.
DRBL client will use its own hardware resources and only share the file system from DRBL server.

I had tried to make domU to support PXE network booting.
I found pypxeboot [1] and PVGrub [2] might have possibility to deploy diskless domU.
I had not yet test that, but will test that in near future.

DRBL can be used for deploying Xen dom0 .....
I have some experience for doing this. Here are some notes.
