Hi everyone,

I have a remote Linux server which doesn't have a sound card, accessed
through VNC. Because it doesn't have a sound card, applications that require
a sound card (e.g. Skype) fail to run.

I am using the server for software-only purposes, such as playing local wave
files over VoIP lines. As far as I know, this does not technically require a
sound card, though I could be wrong about that.

I found on this site (
http://www.opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11745&sid=189e5f1879aac0c28b6883034a2c2faf)
a mention of oss_audioloop and oss_userdev as potential solutions for this,
so I thought that I should ask on this mailing list.

To summarize the question -- is it possible to emulate a sound card in
software as "hw:0,0" or "/dev/dsp", such that applications will consider it
to be a valid sound card?

Sincerely,
Saketh
