yes, this proved valuable.
the magic is:
apt-get install libasound2-plugins
and adding the following lines to /etc/asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
and then configure sound applications to talk to alsa. seems like
several gnome and kde apps worked without configuration. xine-ui also
worked without configuration. xmms required telling it to use alsa
instead of oss. ironically, alsaplayer didn't work.
libasound2-plugins is a dependency for the ltsp-server-standalone
package, but it's good to document for people who just want the sound
support and not the other stuff that ltsp-server-standalone pulls in.
also, if you only install ltsp-client-core, instead of the default
ltsp-client metapackage, you'll need to install some of the sound
related packages into the chroot.
also need to document loading sound modules for when the sound card
isn't autodetected.
i think i will make the sound dependencies for ltsp-server-standalone
and ltsp-client-core hard-depend on only the pulse+alsa stuff, even
though we support other sound systems, the (nearly) out-of-the-box
support should be limited to one sound system.
so with a little more documentation, maybe we can soon close this bug :)
live well,
