I've asked this before, but since I didn't receive any helpful suggestions (or indeed any at all) I'll try again. It's possible according to the artsd documentation to get it to work transparently over a network. In other words, if there's an arts daemon running on computer A, programs running on computer B connect to it to output sound. I believe I'm relatively good at getting things to work in linux, but no matter how many times I read the faq and follow its instructions, all sound from the programs on computer B are played on computer B, while computer A - in a different room - is completely silent. My question is simply: has anyone managed to get this to work? TIA Anders

Anyone? A simple "yes, I've gotten it to work"? I can't believe noone has ever tried it, it's such a basic part of a thin client setup.
There is something deeply disturbing about this. on machine A I telnet machine B and launch noatun. ps aux confirms that noatun is running on machine B, no process called noatun is running on machine A. In noatun I open an mp3 I have on machine A. Nothing happens. In .xsession-errors on machine a I get "cannot open file". Odd. On machine A I have an mp3. On machine B I do "touch file.mp3" and open that file in noatun. Sure enough, the mp3 on machine A plays. Something about this is not working the way it should. The sound connects to machine A, the trouble is, so does the "File-Open" command. hm Anders
OK, I found a solution on another list. Apparently, a lot of this functionality is still outside "official" kde. But now I can run thin clients with sound and have it *mostly* work. Very nice Anders

So, no answer for us. OK. I can do that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2509gACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvv/QCfWldzOOvNJ1k4dnGa4rOJyvEk IIMAnRAkNmXeiGsmVMYGOXwTYJ80tx4n =7dMY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
