Sounds like its going to use a lot of bandwidth to me. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't /dev/dsp for raw sound data AFTER conversion FROM e.g. MP3 OGG WAV etc? So "redirecting" /dev/dsp will probably lag your network substantially. I think this is a very cool idea though, and you're probably on the right track. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
