I think Pulse provides enough tools that it should be possible to come up with a way to transport audio. Of course, nothing keeps you from completely replicating the current functionality; with an x11spice you would still be able to set up a dummy xorg and control it's start up environment. > > Spice can also remote other resources but I don't have a sense of how > much those would be impacted. > > Also, would that mean that the Xspice script would become a wrapper for > starting an X session and the related x11spice client? I don't think I would change Xspice; I think I would just add a new 'x11spice' utility.
