According to the documentation, esd shall also be able to reproduce audio over the network. Here is the story so far: 1) setting up esd for network play. My "normal" esd runs like this: 'esd -d /dev/dsp0.3'. I found out through trial and error that no matter what parameters I added, I couldn't get that esd to both play local sound and sound from the network. So I left it alone, and started another esd. This time with parameters like so: 'esd -d /dev/dsp0.2 -tcp -public -port 5001'. 2) Enabling esd to accept input from machines other than localhost. On the esd machine, I ran 'esdctl -s localhost:5001 unlock'. 3) Testing esd from the other machine. I ran 'esdplay -s soundhost.5001 test.wav' from the TV machine, and it worked. I also ran 'esdctl -s soundhost:5001 serverinfo', it worked too. 4) Testing xawtv and fxtv - WITHOUT sound. Just to make sure that everything was working as before, I tried 'DISPLAY=soundhost:0.0 xawtv' and 'DISPLAY=soundhost:0.0 fxtv -inputFormat pal -antennaFreqSet weurope' both worked. 5) Testing xawtv and fxtv - with sound (?) The final step was to test the two programs with sound. For that, I used 'esddsp', like this: 'DISPLAY=soundhost:0.0 esddsp -m -s soundhost:5001 xawtv' 'DISPLAY=soundhost:0.0 esddsp -m -s soundhost:5001 fxtv -inputFormat pal -antennaFreqSet weurope' But that didn't work. No sound. Any hints on getting this to work? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
