Stan Brown: | I have a small network of computers in my house. Among these I have a | FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine downstairs with a GUS PnP, and an HP 735 | upstairs. Both of these have quite nice audio, with speakers and cheap | mikes. | | I would like to set up to be able to use these as a simple intercom from | upstairs to downstairs. | | Could someone point me to the tight tool(s) to set up to accomplish | this? Check out rplay. As I recall, it does what you're talking about. Making it easy to set up a "network intercom". Randall rplay is a flexible network audio system that allows sounds to be played to and from local and remote systems. The rplay audio server currently supports SunOS 4.1.X, Solaris 2.X, Linux, SGI IRIX 4 & 5, HP9000/705, HP9000/710 and now FreeBSD. The rplay clients and client library should work on any system that supports Berkeley sockets. X Windows is not required. Version 3.2.0beta ------------------- * Supported systems include SunOS 4.1.X, Solaris 2.x, FreeBSD, Linux, SGI IRIX 4 and IRIX 5, and HP9000/710. * 8-bit & 16-bit audio input and output. * All audio sample rates. * .au, .snd, .aiff, .wav, .voc, .ub, .ul, G.721 4-bit, G.723 3-bit, and G.723 5-bit audio files. * Stereo input and output.
