First of all, I am new to using LTSP so take the following with that expertise in mind.
I have had a bit of success using a network bootable laptop with the esound network sound program. This seems to work well with programs that support it. I am using XMMS to play sound output from the terminal. All that was required in my case was to set the ESPEAKER variable to the correct hostname for the client. It does require that you assign a known hostname to the client so that the esound program can resolve the ip from the hostname. I needed to make some modifications to the lts.conf file. I added the following SOUND=Y SOUND_DAEMON=esd VOLUME=100 MIC_VOLUME=0 # I have not tried to use the mic CD_VOLUME=75 # I have not used this either SMODULE_01 = soundcore SMODULE_02 = uart401 SMODULE_03 = sb # soundblaster? I hope that this helps. I believe that I got this information from the contrib area on the LTSP.ORG web site. The author's name is Boris Reisig. I cannot comment on the video since I have not tried it. I would be interested in knowing if it worked though.
