Hi all. I've got a few machines on the internal LAN that I'd like to network the sound on.
Only one of them is connected to the hi-fi, but they all have sound cards in. I've had a look at Esound and ARTS, but never had any luck with implementing a system-wide solution that my non-techie partner can "just use" by changing the hi-fi amp input selector to aux and firing up xmms. So - does anyone have any ideas and/or suggestions and/or experience with this sort of thing? Any help much appreciated, but if we're talking preferences, then I'd like it to be multi-user safe so that when two clients use it then it mixes the sound OR drops one silently on the floor - no "force the second client to hang until we can get a lock" problems. And finally, if it were possible to keep traffic low, that'd be nice. None of the clients really has the horse-power to encode high-quality oggs in realtime, but I imagine that there's a "just try to /halve/ the bandwidth - don't work /too/ hard" option out there somewhere ... Anything, anyone? Cheers! jc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
