We're running Suse 10.0 with LTSP 4.2 using esd for sound. I do not have a sound card on the server. I have sound working on the clients for things like mplayer and gnome.
I can not get a lot of the multimedia applications to work, it seems, because they only want to use alsa or oss, and do not recognize a sound device. I especially would like to get Skype and some music sequencer like Rosegarden or NoteEdit to work. Does anyone know of a music sequencer (where you can write, play and print sheet music) that supports esd? I haven't been able to find one. Is there some way that I can run these programs so they will redirect sound to esd (or something) so they will give sound on the client? Would it help -- or hurt -- if I put a sound card in our server so alsa at least can find a sound card? It seems to me that this really is not going to help. I have a sound card in a test server, and although Skype, for instance, gives sound on the server, it doesn't on the client. Is there some way to set up local sound without having to go through all of the hassles of trying to build some of these programs to run as local apps? Skype, for instance, is not open source.... Has anyone gotten Skype to work on the clients? I would really appreciate some general advice about what direction I should take towards getting some of these programs to run -- or whether I should just give up and not even bother trying to get them to work. I would rather not waste my time fighting with this any longer if these programs are just not going to work no matter what I do. But if there is something that I can do that I'm just missing, I'd really appreciate it if some one (or more) of you could point me in the right direction. And, by the way, I think you are all terrific people. It's a joy to read this list. I can't help very often; but you all sound like really great people. The way you all help each other is really nice, and some of the things you are doing with LTSP is very impressive. I learn a lot just from watching this list. I hope you can help with a little advice.
