Sound over network from Windows to Linux

sadarax · 11-16-2008, 06:34 AM

I have two computers. One with Kubuntu 8.04.1 and the other using Windows XP. I control the Windows machine from Linux using Synergy.

I want to have sound over my network to my main Linux machine (so it can play on my speakers).

Any suggestions for doing this? Primarily I want sound from my web browser (Firefox) on the Windows machine, but optimally I would like this to work for Games perhaps, like World of Warcraft for example.

Any information and tutorials/guides/how-to's would be appreciated.

I have never actually implemented this, but have seen this setup using netcat:

For the firefox part, wouldn't it be easier to fire up firefox in your linux?

I am playing a game in Windows that uses some proprietary software combined with Flash inside of Firefox. I tried using Wine on Linux, but it does not work.

And of course, plain firefox on Linux will not run the proprietary windows software in conjunction with flash.
