[gentoo-user] sound server recommedation

2006-06-15 Thread Enrico Weigelt 

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an sound server which is widely supported and
can be easily instructed to bounce all audio traffic to a remote
machine, so I can easily switch my speaker without touching 
the applications.

Any recommendation ?

maybe jackd (jackit.sf.net) with netjack? Arbitrary audio connections 
can be done using the CLI or using qjackctl.

Apps with jackd backend:

* Pro audio apps
* xmms
* mplayer
* Audacity CVS

Best regards

I personally use ALSA and no sound server. It bounces its traffic this way:
Server: arecord -f dat | nc -bu 255.255.255.255 19250
Client: nc -l -p 19250 | aplay -f dat

Although a real sound server works certainly better.
