Newer versions of PA actually broke compatibility with
armv4 completely as they're using some v5-only instructions
in the optimized arm assembly code.

I did it in other direction (freerunner as network headphones) and pulseaudio
performance were excellent, only thing you need is to select right
mixer, one without floating point calculations.

Other direction worked well too i think.

Only problem i faced after upgrade - it stopped working due to some arm
segfault, don't know may be this already fixed.

Thanks, I'm waiting the higher performance GTA04, and more stable

that was for the second case, ie you want to play a file / something on
your laptop, but you want the sound to come out of FR's
speaker/headset... (otherwise you could just run mplayer on FR ;)

also for mp3 you could just stream the file to the FR and decode/play it
there (see the other reply), this was meant more for movies/interactive
apps that you want to run/see on your laptop... (though most apps now
don't support esd, so you would have to get pulse working...)

to access files from moko on laptop, you can always use sshfs:
mkdir ~/neo
sshfs 192.168.1.202:/ ~/neo
(enter passwd, or set up ssh keys)

You can easily listen a mp3 file using some pipes and ssh.

You can do (from your computer) :
ssh you@freerunner cat file.mp3 | mpg123 -

It will be parsed like this :
- ssh you@freerunner cat file.mp3 : ssh runs on your computer, and try
to execute "cat file.mp3" on remote machine
- then | mpg123 - : the output is redirected to your local mp3 player
(mpg123 here)

The same mechanism is often used by admins to transfer tar files over
network (ssh distantPC tar something | untar locally)


To play a "collection" you can use something like that :
ssh you@freerunner "find mp3folder -wholename \*Metallica\*.mp3
-print0 | xargs -p0 cat" | mpg123 -

It is a bit ugly but it should work if you just want to listen your music.


For Fong Yuenshu's problem it is a bit more difficult, as he wants to
redirect the whole soundsystem from the freerunner to a computer.
It may be possible with some advanced sound daemon like esd or else...
if you find a solution do not hesitate to share with us :)


Xavier.

The "file.mp3" is on the FR, isn't it? What is the exact syntax to access it
from the laptop?

mplayer -ao esd:192.168.1.202  /file.mp3

I did this when I forgot my normal earphones at home and took only the FR
headset ...
you can just install esd (esound)  on FR (last time i tried it, it  was
in the shr feeds, but that was at least a year back), run it, connect FR
to the laptop and run mplayer -ao esd:192.168.1.202  file.mp3

pulseaudio could be a bit more "user friendly" if can get it running, ie
automatic discovery etc.. so that if you run it on FR and connect it to
your laptop, it would just pop a message that a new remote soundcard is
available... and you can move audiostreams from any application to that
remote soundcard... I have that running between desktop and laptop...
but it is still a bit unstable ;) and i don't think getting running it
on FR would be easy...

Pulseaudio could indeed do what you're after, however
we had to remove pulseaudio from the SHR distribution
due to its abysmal performance on armv4.

How to forward FreeRunner's audio ?

2011-06-20 Thread Fong Yuenshu
case 1:
I forward Xwindow to my Laptop already, when I dial someone on Laptop,
but the sound came out from FR, and use FR's MIC.
So, in this case, I want forward "FR's sound" to Laptop, and "Laptop's
MIC" to FR.

case 2:
One of my desktop computer have no sound box, hence, I want forward
"Desktop's sound" to FR.

I'm told pulseaudio can forward sound, but was pulseaudio already installed
on FR? (I'm now run SHR on it).
Thanks.
