Is it possible to use Pulseaudio for Network Streaming without Virtual Soundcard Hardware ? I've got Debian installed as a VM on ESXi 3 and I'm wanting to Stream audio from this as a Server to an ESD sink. The problem is that this hypervisor doesn't support audio hardware. In particular: # cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- Is it possible to emulate a soundcard (to use as a source) ? If so, how do I go about doing this ?
