There are several possibilities of sound on (lessdisks) thin clients: * Esound (works for me, the Debian maintainer of lessdisks) * NAS (works for Vagrant, the author of lesdisks) * Rplay (known to work in a german test installation of lessdisks) Also, lessdisks can run applications locally (instead of through XDMCP) and have then access to the ordinary ALSA/OSS devices on the diskless clients. AFAIK no VoIP apps today support the above methods, and AFAIK only NAS supports both sound in and out. So in short: yes, true thin client setups cannot currently run VoIP applications. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n�r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCLHmBn7DbMsAkQLgRAr6aAKCSJC/FADsMf1naCSqB4cMC+bOWNACeLkaF w9qBV6j0IPCAs98J/Pp2wL8= =4V5H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
