Hi list, I've tried an interesting experiment to control my mac via skype. I have one bit missing to make it fully efficient. Usually going through ssh i get across most of my needs, but some applications require full GUI control to get there quickly. And of course, most software is made for sighted users in mind and therefore believe audio capture is an annex burden for bandwidth and therefore we're left out.
Here's the low down. 1- i create a skype account with the hostname of the server or client i wish to control abacus.blahblah.net In its call settings, i set it to accept incoming calls automatically. Since it only has me as a contact, there can't be mistakes. 2 I Use soundflower to route system sounds Output To skype's input. 3 I call the server via my laptop, connect and control it via ARD, and voilà. However, since sound is routed from system, voice over being system and not a sub-channel of system, i'm left with no sound on my server. This isn't too much of an issue as i know the steps required to open system prefs, sound, output tab and switch my output device back to the mac's internal speakers. It would be, however, cool if i could route system sound to both skype's input and itself. Soundflower documentation says that i can possibly do such a thing with the soundflower 16 channel mode but haven't found the right combination for it to work. Anyone have any idea?
