Hi,
In my last thread http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112425 i found that it was possible to forward sound over the network. Thanks to saturn-vk ... for the precious help.
Now after trying out the solution i decided to put here a small help to those needing it.
On the local machine - (that is the machine where the app GUI will appear after a ssh connection):
-open a root shell
-Kill the esd daemon
- start it again by typing esd -public -tcp -port 20000
- make your ssh connection
-now when logged in you are already working on the Remote machine (the one that will serve the app), so type
esddsp -s HOST:PORT app, where host is the ip number of the local machine and port is 20000 port number and the app is the application to be started (e.g. xmms).
-By now you should be earing the sound comming through the local machine speakers.
Another way to do it, is, once logged in type export ESPEAKER=HOST:PORT. In this case you wonīt need to use esddsp, just type the name of the app and it will forward the sound.
;)
After doing all of this i did not understand why xine didnīt work. it canīt forward the sound. If any of you can help... :p
