I have tried to find a sound server with OSS included, i have tried esd and arts, when running those i can't get my xmms oss driver to play. How do i get esd or arts with oss output?

hi,

To export audio to another system we need to start the esd sound server on the machine we need the audio on like this:

esd -tcp -public -port xxx

then in the client system, we need to specify the server by exporting the ESPEAKER variable.

export ESPEAKER=host_running_esd:xxx

If the audio players do not support the above variable, we can use the below command to make the esd daemon simulate /dev/dsp.

esddsp -v --server=the.remote.host:xxx esd -tcp



Make sure that there is no esd server running on the client machine.
