RE: [SLUG] Audio out on two machines simultaneously
A hardware fix would be wiring your audio through the two unused pairs of your network cable. That would have nice hack value. Might be a bugger separating the pairs, though... A bigger bugger when you don't have wires to separate.

[SLUG] Audio out on two machines simultaneously
I have a machine in the lounge room and a wirelessly networked laptop in the kitchen. I want both machines to play the same audio. The laptop is actually only running an X Server and xfm and all apps run on the desktop machine. Currently audio-out only comes out the desktop, through artsd (KDE). So how can I get artsd (or similar) to send the audio to both machines' sound cards at once? -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net Send email with subject send key pub for public key.

AFAIK (happy to be corrected), this only plays the music at approximately the same time (give or take a few seconds, due to buffering etc). Which is probably not what you want, if you could hear both computers at the same time. We tried this at a lan, it was ugly.

Which is probably not what you want, if you could hear both computers at the same time. We tried this at a lan, it was ugly. I wondered about that. Look into jack. There's an xmms output plugin for it and there's a clicky thing that lets you route audio with it. I've not used it for that, but I suspect it could be coerced to do what you want. Anyway, Jack complains for me when it's something like a thousandth of a second off, so it's probably closer to the latency you're looking for.
