Hi,
I now routinely use two computers (both running openSUSE 11.1, both on x86 hardware, though entirely distinct in details) but have only one set of speakers. I would like to have one of these systems send its sound output to the other system rather than to its own sound hardware. I gather this is possible, but haven't been able to find much information on how to exploit the capability.
Could someone give me the outline of setting something like this up or point me to some informational materials?
Any other tips, hints, pointers or suggestions?
I might be completely mistaken, but isn't THIS a great use case for PulseAudio? You can define a sink on a remote machine and all the sound should just go there.
I'm running openSUSE 11.1 and to my knowledge, it is the default and I am running it. I installed the padevchooser on both systems, enabled both avahi daemons, rebooted checked "Enable networked sound" in the KDE Control Center (rebooted both systems) and still have "No Network Devices" in all three categories (Server, Sink and Source) on both machines' padevchooser tray icon's pop-up menu. (And firewalls are not an issue.) I am quite naive about audio. I've never done anything fancy with it and it has always just worked, so I've never needed to educate myself.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
