Quoth the Wiki: "The problem is that normally applications run on the LTSP Server, and when they want to send audio, they write to |/dev/dsp| (OSS). The typical result is that the sounds come out of the speakers attached to the server (if the server has a soundcard and speakers)."
I can see that for almost all installations, this would be useless behavior, but this is exactly what I want to have happen. The last time I installed LTSP on my sound server, this is exactly the behavior I wanted, however, I installed it yesterday, and while sound works on the server itself if I plug a keyboard, monitor and mouse into it, I can't find a way to get to it remotely. (Either by booting into it from the network, or "ssh -Y", the programs I use can't see that there's even a soundcard installed. /dev/dsp is missing; hw:0 is missing; etc.) The options listed on the Wiki sound page (http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Sound) are all absent from my lts.conf file. It seems to me that it should be working the way I want it to, but it's not. Is there anything I can do to restore the server-sound-access behavior that was present before? -David PS - for those curious about what I'm doing, I've got a small recording studio based around a monster server with an RME HDSP 9652 card. The optical inputs and outputs make it easy to distribute sound throughout the whole studio, both inputs and outputs, by running two very small cables to each room and then placing a set of A/D and D/A converters at the end of that cable. The idea is to have any of the silent terminals in the rooms be able to log in and configure the hardware mixer to distribute sound through the studio. Clever, eh? If it will work, that is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
