Hi,
I just would like to stream from one linux box to next one in other room. I 'd rather have that with no X. I would not like, X, it recalls me windows.
-(I found only vlc, but that is not what I would favor)

Thanks if it possible.

Cheers

You should probably clarify what you are trying to do.

If you just want to broadcast a constant stream of music out from one machine to the other, you could use SHOUTcast on the server and any capable media player on the client side (MPlayer and mpg123 if you don't want to use X, or Audacious, XMMS, etc, etc).

If you just want to access the audio files from one machine to the other, then you can mount them over a networked file system like NFS. You could then play them from the client as if they were on the local machine.

Finally, there are applications out there that will let you turn a Linux machine into a networked jukebox, complete with web interface for selecting and browsing the music library.

Depending on what your end goal is, there are a number of different ways to accomplish it.

To actually stream the alsa output or /dev/dsp, is this possible with linux ?
like server streaming whatever the /dev/dsp output plays in realtime, music or other programs, or videos ... or mplayer listening to internet stream (without X, as mplayer no X would be better) and clients that can see the /dev/dsp of this "server" linux box ,and could play it with mplayer (x or not)

Whao, that looks good idea too, in terms of jukebox:
is this freevo that you mean ?

thank you!

It can be done easily, from a cli, with vlc - but since you don't 'favor' vlc, then, as stated earlier, you'll need shoutcast, or icecast. Both work with mplayer, and I use icecast and mpd. None of these solutions require X.

cheers,

Super ! I'll give the "investigation" thanks
