On SystemB(client):
-------------------
-run 'tcpdump' to look for any multicast from the SystemA. Take note
of the multicast ip and port# (eg. 224.0.x.x). You'll need to refer
to it later in the player on SystemB. On my system, it's
224.0.0.56.46946.

I'm not sure I know how to recognize multicast traffic. What's the clue?


$ sudo tcpdump -n net 224.0.0.0/8 -c 10

$ mplayer -demuxer rawaudio -rawaudio
channels=2:rate=44100:samplesize=2:format=0x10001
rtp://224.0.0.56.46946

-Note: As you can see, i'm using 'mplayer' in this example. but you
can use another that support RTP streaming. Take note of the
parameter values that is specified with 'mplayer', you'd have to
probably enter it in you player.

What I want to do is get all system audio emitted on the client routed
to the server, not just particular program's output. Is that possible?
If so, how?
