I seem to remember a sound daemon that was supposed to do this... what was it... Oh Yeah, esound: http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html But it doesn't appear to be under development anymore (last update to the web page was in 2000.) Hmmm, these are interesting (from a google search on 'sound daemon'): http://asd.sourceforge.net/ But nothing's happened with that for over a year http://gstreamer.net/ Looks like it's being actively developed, but... >From http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1676 (found with a google search of 'network >sound daemon'): http://radscan.com/nas.html Actively developed! Last post on the news page, 7/7/2002! http://cnmat.cnmat.berkeley.edu/CAST/ Hmmm... looks like a lot of work to even figger outwhat it is. http://www.openal.org/home/ Started by Loki, and, well, you know... Then there's the linux sound page with gobs of links: http://linux-sound.org/, a mirror of: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/ I looked into this a couple years ago and never managed to get anything working. But it wasn't a high priority. I'd be interested if you find something that works.
