Speaking as the OP - seconded! Are you talking icecast, or something like that? The whole idea (for me, anyway) of running a sound server on the hifi machine is that I can offload some of the processing overhead onto the server machine. The clients are 550/600/700Mhz boxes, so I'm trying to leave them as free as possible. Wouldn't running something like an icecast server on each client (so to speak) box defeat this aim? Yes - I know I didn't mention this in the OP :-P Also, I 'spose should mention that, while I /like/ the Esd idea of wrapping up /dev/dsp for all child processes of a specific early-init-time task so that all attempts to access /dev/dsp automatically use Esd without knowing it <deep breath>, I have heard that it can be a performance bottleneck if you have lots of processes. Has anyone any experience of this or have I been misinformed? Cheers! jc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
