As to my understanding the problem of spice is, that it's designed as virtual hardware. Thus even then pulse connects to your virtual sound card. Thus we need a spice-kernel-sound-driver which AFAIK is not planed. > > Plus it would probably free us from the Nomachine codebase currently > used for image compression.

The part we do want to use is xspice [1], but AFAIK it is not yet in a state that we want to use it (I currently don't have the resources to verify that). But here my guts tell me, that it's less hassle to improve pulse than to get sound into that module - but who knows. ;) Morty -- Dipl.-Ing.
