Hello everybody, I'm looking for a solution to the following. I want to play my audio from any device that can communicate over LAN (eth/wifi) using LAN and a central server.
In other words, I have a Debian-based server, connected to amplifier and speakers and I want to use that server to play my audio. So I'd need a server software that would listen to data and output it to speakers and I'd also need a client software that would act as a virtual sound card. The client software should be able to discover servers that exist in LAN and present user with a choice to either use local sound adapter (and thus local speakers) or to use a LAN sound adapter (and thus direct the sound to a nice home sound system). Client software should exist for Windows XP. The perfect solution should also be able to discover more than one listening server and switch between them. All the solutions I've googled seem to do something opposite: allow to access media files through LAN/Internet in order to play them locally. I want to play files locally, but output the sound through LAN. Note, that this should also work on WiFi, so it has to use ethernet (and maybe even better -- IP). Does something like this even exist? Please help. Best regards, KT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
