Sound in GNOME under CYGWIN or Xnest

2007-10-31 Thread Ori Idan
Hello all,

I have a Linux server (Debian Etch).
I am connecting to this server using XDMCP with either CYGWIN (from a window
machine) or Xnest (From another Linux machine)
When I am on the server, the sound works perfectly (ALSA)
On the stations I get error device not ready or busy.

Does someone have any idea?

Most likely you have an active session running locally on the server
that grabs the sound ports and your new remote session can't access it.
Make sure that there isn't any logged in session on the server and try
again ('who' is a good idea). You can have multiple users using audio by
using ALSA's dmix as the default soundcard (available in most modern
distros).
