  "sndio data stream" is linear PCM audio data.
  That can be played in any audio player out there.
  Why do you want to convert it to a RTP stream first?

  I cannot quite parse your sentences.

I think the original question might have better phrased as: How do I
forward sound and X from OpenBSD to Windows? Leaving particular tools out
of it. The natural tendency to include a tool that solves part of the
problem rather than restate the problem /de novo/ can bite us. --Ed

Is there a way to exclude directories within a selected volume for a
full backup? It looks as though nodump only works for levels above 0.

Closing out the loop, it appears that FreeRDP only supports multi-media
forwarding of Windows Media Player.

The rdesktop port is not an alternative: upstream has been
un-maintained since November 2019, and its latest version cannot
connect to Windows 10 21H2 if fully patched.

It doesn't display through the docking station at any point.

If I attempt to start from the dock's power button with the lid down, I
won't see anything displayed even on the lid after opening it, but the
machine will become pingable.

This meant that T-Bird quit downloading when I knew (via webmail) that 
there were new messages remaining.

You're probably right; when I cleaned out the inbox (by about 50%) 
performance
picked way up.  It also may be related to this being configured to 
deliver to local folders, which I have not done before now.


In any case I intend to get 21st Century hardware soon.
