Hi LTSP list,
I have troubles with local sound on a thin client with (hopfully)
soundblaster compatible sound chip on board.
The ltspsound-0.1c module gives some hints, but the installation does not
work in my SuSE context, so I did everthing by hand to understand more. My
general understanding is, that you have to fullfill the following to get
sound working at runlevel 3.
1. boot your WS to runlevel 3 bash
2. using "insmod" to load several SoundModules for your card.
3. Make sure "auplay", "auinfo" and "nasd" (and all libs) are available
4. start the networked sound deamon
5. use a testprogram "auplay" to play the sound locally and still without X
In short: 1-4 works. 5 does not, "auinfo" and "auplay" display 'can not
connect to audio server'.
This is what I did.

insmod soundcore
for i in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10; do
SMODULE=`get_cfg SMODULE_${i}`
if [ "$SMODULE" != "" ]; then
insmod ${SMODULE}
fi
done
SOUND_DAEMON=`get_cfg SOUND_DAEMON`
echo "Running Sound Server" ${SOUND_DAEMON}
case ${SOUND_DAEMON} in

;;

;;
esd) esd $options here
;;
*) echo "Unknown Value for SOUND_DAEMON [$SOUND_DAEMON]"
;;
esac
-------------------------------------
After that I can see all my kernel modules with "lsmod" and with "ps" I see
my nasd sound daemon running. I can also start "auinfo" and "auplay" with
help options, without any Lib-Errors. I checked those 3 progs with ldd and
copied libs.
But "auinfo" and "auplay" do not connect to "nasd".
Can someone help here?
Since I do not know linux sound and especially nasd (auinfo, auplay) well,
it might be a simple error.
All the best
Kai
