Have you read the aRts FAQ? It's at
http://space.twc.de/~stefan/kde/arts-mcop-doc/artsd-faq.html
What you can do with that is run artsd on trabbi, and start applications on
io. What you can't do is run artsd on io, run another artsd on trabbi, forward
the output of the artsd running on io to the artsd running on trabbi (which
you might want to do for decompressing mp3's on your fast machine).
If somebody has a clever idea (or even better: patch) how to do that, I can
integrate it. The problem with doing things like that is, that the GlobalComm
object will prevent two artsd's from registering themselves, at least if it
does communication in the same space (i.e. in the same directory, or via
properties on the same server). It might be possible for the second artsd
(the one on trabbi) not to register itself as Arts_SoundServer, though, but
for instance as trabbi__Arts_SoundServer (and so on), then the two could
talk, and one could write a "forward" AudioIO object for artsd, and things
would be fine.
Cu... Stefan
