Re: [expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
Yes Allen, I read it too. It said to use e-sound you would probably have to use Gnome becuase KDE doesn't support it. Because of the connotation in the wording of probably having to use Gnome, I didn't bother pursuing the issue, and was hoping another solution came to light. Thanx for clarifying the e-sound/Gnome relationship, I will look into it further now I know the situation. Many Thanx..

Re: [expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
Gnome itself may not be the hog, but the applications for it have the propensity to use libs and toolsets from many sources (not just GTK). This has the effect of loading a whiole slew of libs if you plan to actually run any apps in Gnome, as opposed to just looking at it. I'm not religious, and I don't use KDE either (don't know where you got that from), I run BlackBox. :-) I was simply stating that I have no intention of running Gnome to solve my probs, and my reasons why not. This was meant to filter any responses that were not relevant to my situation, no other reason. It was also not meant to actually be a point of discussion On Wed, 21 Jun 2000, you wrote: Gnome consumes about a quarter the memory of KDE (half if you include Sawfish running as the WM).

There has to be someway to tunnel/channel /dev/dsp on the server through /dev/dsp on the client. Any idea's guys. Many Thanx RaStuS

[expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
G'day All, I know a console consists of a display, keyboard, mouse combination and these are also assigned to the $DISPLAY var during an X session. Thing is, on my home net I have a server (with heaps of mem hd space) and an old Compaq Pressario (very limited resources) set up as a client. I usually operate from the client. To save resources I'm running X remotely from the server. It works great except any apps that have sound involved play the sound on the server rather than the client. This is pretty useless when I'm several rooms away, is there a way I can bind the sound with the other $DISPLAY devices so it is also plays on the box where the app is being displayed ? Many Thanx RaStuS
Re: [expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
You can use esound, the Enlightenment Sound Daemon (Comes with Mandrake). You'll have to do some RTFM, and problably use gnome, since kde does not support it. I've seen it work, it's fantastic, however I never tried it, so you're on your own.
