I have a new
development box at home that I am working on.
Currently it
has CentOS 5.1 + Xen 3.2 running several domUs.
I am using
XDMCP on the domUs and an X Chooser on dom0 for
connecting
to them and it works well, but now I want to be
able to get
sound from my domUs and I have been struggling.
I can get
some from network transparent sound by using ESD,
but I have
no way of controlling the mixer (volume) settings
from within
the domU which kind of sucks.
I have been
looking at the possibility of setting up a
PulseAudio
server in dom0 and installing the ALSA PulseAudio
plugin on
each domU set to use the dom0 server as from the
web site it
seems to be able to have remote mixer controls
and can be
handled as if it were a regular ALSA sound card,
which should
allow a majority of the apps to work as if
there were a
local sound card.
My questions
are:
1) Has
anybody on the list used PulseAudio in this type
of
setup (not
necessary Xen interface, but ALSA plugin to
remote
PulseAudio server)?
2) Does
anybody on the list know a compatible repo that
carries
pre-compiled PulseAudio packages?
Thanks in
advance,
Ross S. W. Walker
