My problem is i want to map my server's soundcard onto my workstation. Someone told me that its possible to do that with esd ? esound daemon?

Haven't got a clue about the mapping of sound cards but you could always NFS export the directory that holds the MP3s to the server, then they'll all be available to the server, and hence your MP3 player.
Just a thought

esd..
yeah i also thought about that ...
could it be possible to export the /dev directory and just ad a symbolic link to the /dev/dsp device?
ln /mnt/srv/dsp /dev/dsp -s
im a network newbee .. dont know how to use that nfs right now but i think i will figure it out the next few hours.... linux networking isnt that hard.. its just hard when companies sell wrong crosslinked cables ... damn boeder (german company)
hmm i cutted of the cable and linked it the right way...
what are reversed linked cables for?
Pin 1-8 -> 8-1
(i figured out not for T1&Crosslink connections)

You can't just export the /dev directory (well you can but it won't work!) as these are really the interfaces to physical devices, that won't be present on the server just becuase of an NFS mount. Infact I've never heard of anyone NFS exporting special-files so I'm not sure how NFS would handle them even...
As for the cable - no the slightest idea! Infact I've never heard of them before... Read the NFS howto at http://www.linuxdoc.org for some NFS pointers.
cheers
