esd 0.2.23 remote play on debian unstable
I am running a VNC server on a computer with Debian stable, and viewing
the output on a computer running Debian unstable. Console beeps get
passed through the connection, but I would like to be able to play
sounds on the server and hear them on the client.
Does esound have this capability? Looking through the manpages, I see I
can play sounds with esdplay, with takes the argument
--server=host:port. However, this doesnt work. I can't even use that
command on the client computer, which uses esd (successfully) to play
xmms, xine, vlc, etc. with note (client's name, resolves to 192.168.1.3
by /etc/hosts) or localhost. Also tried after 'esdctl unlock'
Another question, which port does esound use? I saw 5001, 16001, and
35091 while I was on google and looking through
/usr/share/doc/esound-clients.
Any help would be appreciated.
