I'm setting up some thin clients, and audio is part of the console. By running pulseaudio on the thin client, and setting PULSE_SERVER on the application server to point at the thin client, audio is redirected nicely. So far so good. This is analogous to setting DISPLAY with X for network transparent windowing. However, when I run pavucontrol with its PULSE_SERVER set to the same, I get the error: pa_content_get_card_info_list() failed: Not supported The analogous situation with X would be that programs displaying normal windows work fine, but programs like xwininfo or xlsclients or xkill fail. That would be unsatisfactory. The thin client (pulseaudio server) is running Windows 7 with the cendio.com binaries, and the application server (pulseaudio client) is running Debian testing (wheezy, to be 7.0). Is the limitation here to do with the protocol, or one or other of the implementations I'm using, or something else? regards, Tom Jones.
