Dear List,
I would like to use esddsp to forward sounds from a server to several
diskless clients. All clients have sound cards, and the esd daemon
started with
esd -promiscuous -tcp -pubic -port 1500
On the server side, I can play an mp3 file with
esddsp -v -s earth.msnet:1500 mpg123 something.mp3
My problem is that esddsp creates the pseudo device for the given
process only. In other words, /dev/dsp is not inherited by child
processes. For example doing
esddsp -v -s earth.msnet:1500 x11amp
will not work, because x11amp uses a different process for decoding.
What I would like to do is to have all gnome2 system sounds, x11amp,
firefox/flash sounds etc. working. But of course, it is not a good idea
to start everything with esddsp, and in many cases it is not possible at
all. Question is, is there a way to tell esddsp that the created pseudo
dsp device should be used for all applications?
Thanks,
Laszlo
