I want to do the same thing. This afternoon I'm going to try to implement the following idea:
1) on the client box where I plan to listen to the sound (music in my case), I'm going to listen for incoming tcp/ip connections using nc or the like and pipe the stream to /dev/dsp locally. 2) on the server box where the sound is to originate, I'm going to replace /dev/dsp with a local unix socket, open it using nc or the like, establish a tcp/ip connection to the client box and stream the data. Does this sound like a stupid idea to anyone? --Tony On Fri, 2 Apr 2004, Andrew Langdon-Davies wrote: > Hello all, > The idea is to use an old p100 (there aren't any new ones) as an X > client on which to display videos.
