Please note however, that F8 ships with a pre-release of PA 0.9.7 and lacks the automatic discovery of networked audio sinks via zeroconf. Rawhide includes a newer snapshot of PA which includes support for this. > I just want to start off by being able to hear audio from another room, > even if discovery of each device isn't zeroconf. You can always set $PULSE_SERVER=theaudioserver on the shell and every program you start from it will then redirect its audio to that server. Alternatively, use the "pax11publish" to export the audio server info to the X11 root window.
