I'm setting up an old machine for the grandkids to do their surfing and messing around on.
I've got the machine booting and I have access to the local floppy and cd player. Now sound. I've tried artsd, esd, and nasd. With artsd, I can get sound if I change permissions on /dev/dsp0 on the server, but the sound plays on the server, not the local machine. Not what I want. With esd, I seem to remember problems with kde until I disabled artsd... not sure if I remember that right. esdplay will play a .wav file on the workstation, but I can't get sound from mozilla (at least not from the site I tried - http://www.garfield.com/fungames.html ). In fact, mozilla locked up and I had to kill it. With nasd, I can play a wave file with auplay and sound is on the local workstation as I want it. Still no luck at the above site, but at least mozilla doesn't lock up. I think the sound is in a .swf (shockwave?) file. If I can get sound from that site and maybe play cd's, I can get the kids to use it instead of my wife's machine (they know better than to touch mine!). Hers is a windows box and I'm tired of chasing all the c**p they end up getting on her machine. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall... and I still spend more time than a want to admit keeping her desktop the way she likes it, her browser configured as she likes it, and keeping the performance the way she likes it. Hmmm.... might be easier to ditch the windows box and get a wife configured the way I like it.... Nah... probably easier to get sound configured, but I could use some help, please. RTFM is fine if you can point me to the right manual (example syntax and plain english explanations would be nice too). Searches haven't taken me where I want to go.
