You could try routing your /dev/audio through a shoutcast server (http://www.shoutcast.com/download/serve.phtml) and playing back on the VNC clients with XMMS. The sound will probably be great, but the VNC multiplexed video will be less than satisfactory due to the nature of VNC screen refresh for a standard 30fps video stream. You will most likely encounter lots of partial transition frames and some black-out frames since there is no sync and all VNC knows is the video window has changed.
You will be lucky to see 1-2fps in tandem with streaming audio on a 100mb connection IF you are not on an isolated network segment. You should have no other network services running including NFS, samba, router discovery, printers, etc. Even then I suspect video will be pretty bad. But please post back to the list and share your experience -- good or bad... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vnc-list-admin@;realvnc.com]On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 8:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Implementing Audio into a Linux based system that uses VNC > > > Does anyone have any experience, examples, or suggestions on how to > implement audio into a Linux based system that uses VNC to > multiplex video > to multiple users?
