Jesse,
thanks, with your help, I'm halfway home. I made the changes you
suggested, and sound plays fine from the clients (using xmms, clients
are IBM PC350) while running the linux desktop. However, when I set
screen_01 to rdesktop, the sound no longer plays (win 2003 server).
I had assumed once the sound was working from the clients under linux
that would be the end of my troubles...wrong. Anyway, my lts.conf now
looks like:
[ws001]
...
SOUND = Y
SOUND_DAEMON = esd
VOLUME = 75
MIC_VOLUME = 100
CD_VOLUME = 75
SMODULE_01 = "sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330"
SCREEN_01 = rdesktop
X_MODE_0 = 800x600
I needed to add the quotes because it was giving me a parse error
without them.
Thanks again for your help, couldn't have gotten this far otherwise. If
you have anymore suggestions, I'm all ears.
