If you use SOUND_DAEMON = "esd" , Ubuntu will work right-out-of-the-box.
no need for ltsp-sound pkg on server.
This is because, as of the newer Gnome/KDE, both desktops go through
gstreamer for sound, and Ubuntu sets up gstreamer to use ESD as output
by default.
If you are not on Ubuntu, you can go to Multimedia Systems Selector
(usually under Preferences) and switch the Audio output to ESD.
In that case, I have a problem.
When I try yo access the volume control from a remote workstation I get
teh following:
"Cannot connect to sound daemon. Please run 'esd' from a command prompt."
I do so and I get the following:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ esd
esd: Failed to fix owner of /tmp/.esd.
Try -trust to force esd to start.
esd: Esound sound daemon unable to create inix domain socket:
/tmp/.esd/socket
The Socket is not accessible by esd.
Exiting. . ."
If I run the command as my "root" user (using Ubuntu, so this is as the
forst account created) I get:
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user$ esd
esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket
/tmp/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indicating esd is already running.
Exiting. . . "
odd. So I try the -trust as suggested and I get the same error.
I tried to import an .ogg file that I ripped real quick from CD and drop
it into teh user home directory with full ownership and permissions for
that user and I still couldn't play it (ie the program made no attempt,
not just that there was no sound). An error about it being unable to
open the writer.
The base system runs fine. I don't have speakers set up, but the file
runs fine and plays without error.
