Very cool. I know it's working, >because ogle isn't installed on the box that is displaying... so cool. > >Now the question... How would I get the sound out of the remote computers >speakers...? hehe Use the esound daemon (esd), and do the following: On the computer with the sound card: - kill esd, and start it up with the commandline options: esd -public -tcp -port 20000 You can choose an alternate port number if you wish. On the computer without a sound card: - In your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile startup script, or some other script that runs at login, set the following variable: ESPEAKER=192.168.1.1:20000 The IP address above should be the IP of the computer with the sound card, and the port number should match the port used by esd in step 1 above. Configure all your apps to use esd if they have the option to do so, and they will work with your networked ESD daemon. Finally: Enjoy your networked sound. TTYL -- Mike A.
