Hi, I am forced to use an older Linux distribution at my electrical engineering firm due to some legacy EDA software. These headless Linux rack servers use kernel 2.6.18, and I do not have root access. Fortunately I've been able to build a completely bootstrapped toolchain and environment with the latest glibc (2.19) supported by the kernel, and the very latest binutils, gcc, and dozens and dozens of libraries and binaries, even having built an Xorg server and Xfce4 desktop environment. All works well. But I'd like to get support for sound on these headless servers that lack physical sound cards. I don't believe snd-dummy has been built into the kernel, and without root access I'm curious if I have any chance of getting Pulseaudio to work and what steps I'd need to take to get it to run properly. I've built dbus and Pulseaudio into my environment, but am at loss on how to get it to work given the limitations I've mentioned. Thanks for any suggestions!
