Hello. Last time I asked on this list how to make our X-terminal box users enjoy VOIP. The X-terminal boxes all are actually weak computers equipped with sound card, running Linux, the X-terminal server is SuSE 10.1 on a powerful host down the hall. The conclusion is I can run Skype locally (on X-terminal). The users use 'ssh -Y x-terminal-box skype' to get the user interface. This worked a while, until now we discovered the X-terminals are simply not powerful enough to run skype. The CPU usage is 50% averagely but on peak it require more then 100% computation power, making voice sounds broken. Idea: 1. is there a better replacement VOIP solution that use less CPU on the peak? 2. is there a better way around? e.g. running skype on the X-terminal server, where there are enough CPU resource, and deliver the voice through the network (like esound, enlightened sound daemon)? I think perhaps esound cannot handle microphone, is it?
