Use the esound daemon (esd), and do the following:
On the computer with the sound card:
- kill esd, and start it up with the commandline options:
esd -public -tcp -port 20000
You can choose an alternate port number if you wish.
On the computer without a sound card:
- In your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile startup script, or some
other script that runs at login, set the following variable:
ESPEAKER=192.168.1.1:20000
The IP address above should be the IP of the computer with the
sound card, and the port number should match the port used by
esd in step 1 above.
Configure all your apps to use esd if they have the option to do
so, and they will work with your networked ESD daemon.
Finally: Enjoy your networked sound.
