I believe it is supposed to be localhost unless the ESPEAKER environment variable is defined. ESPEAKER acts like DISPLAY, except it is for audio. This way users of thin-clients (like LTSP) get their audio locally. I haven't used it from Mono but it works quite well as long as your network isn't choked. A nice behavior would be for Gnome.Sound to default to ESPEAKER or localhost. _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - Gtk-sharp-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
