i want to watch dvd's on one box and hear the sound out the soundcard on another. shouldn't that be simple? i can hear sound just fine with esd, mplayer, vlc, audacity, clearly local sound works. but remote sound is eluding me. esd makes nice beeps but esdplay doesn't seem to play through it. vlc commandline<http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch03.html#id515138>has convoluted server/client options, i managed to satisfy the syntax and it said it connected but i didn't hear any sound. jack_netsource<http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/User/NetJack>ought to do it, it happily says "connected", and many of these apps recognize jackd if it's running, but jackd never produces sound for me, remote or local, it clearly takes over alsa and i can watch it connect when launching "mplayer -ao jack sound-sample.wav" but i hear nothing until jackd is no longer running. sheesh, i'm sure there's a simple answer somewhere....? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
