Re: [SLUG] Network sound
ages ago i experimented with getting esound working over a network. my experiment was successful and having achieved my goal i did nothing more with it. but i had a quirky combination of softwares and hardware... xmms running on a clamshell ibook running debian pcc via wireless ethernet playing onto freebsd for intel, via an aureal vortex sound card. the vintage of the hardware reinforces how ages ago was. and yes it seemed to work fine. so feeling satisfied by my achievement i never did anything more with it. esound is way old. kde uses jack, and netjack can play over a network. pulseaudio seems to also.

KDE 3 doesn't, directly, but the arts system it uses can be configured with an esd backend, and PA can emulate that. For network sound I would suggest PulseAudio, which isn't absolutely trivial to get working, but does a very good job of integrating zeroconf via avahi to allow you to get the network side zero-configuration. Their wiki has a good reference to integrating PulseAudio: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup Also, I have no idea what PCLOS is based on, so comment on how effectively it works with PA, or vice-versa.
