hello!

does anybody know how i can share the sound?

i have got 2 pc's:

pc1: slackware linux / sound card / loudspeakers
pc2: windows xp / no sound card / no loudspeakers

and i want to play music from pc1 and pc2.
i think that's a kind of soundserver?!

but how could i realise that??

thanks!

Similarly 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


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

thanks!
