This is cool, it seems ratchov@ included this feature in his Linux port.. http://www.sndio.org/install.html Something horrible like this lets me listen to music on a Linux laptop (headphones), streamed from my OpenBSD desktop with no speakers: # ip6tables -A INPUT -p tcp -s fe80::/64 --dport 11025 -m state \ --state NEW -j ACCEPT $ D_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./sndiod -L fe80::blah%wlan0 Because.. we.. can? :-) -Bryan.
