I am a total PulseAudio/esd noob. Sorry, I just can't figure this one out. I am wanting to send sound from my Proliant application server to an old client X box. I don't know whether this is possible. I set up the server with PA 0.9.10 and Mplayer dev-SVN-r26753-4.1.2 (recent). I can play an audio file with Mplayer and see a "stream" appear in the PA Manager and go out over the network. The client box is an old Slackware thing. I can however successfully "mpg123 <sound file>" and hear the file. I thought that I might be able to do something like: # esd -port 4713 # version 0.2.35 (year 2005) to capture the "sink" from the Proliant box and sent it to the sound card. All I get is bothersome silence. Is it possible to send sound from PA to ESD in this way? Yes? Ummm. Port wrong for esd? Anything else? Thanks for your time.
