You need a sound server that supports networked audio. I'd recommend the PulseAudio sound server. It supports exactly what you want (redirection of sound for X apps running over ssh -X) right "out of the box". It has support for redirecting apps that use ALSA, OSS, ESD, libao and gstreamer. So in other words pretty much everything out there. There is even a native PulseAudio plugin for xmms. :-) Check it out at http://www.pulseaudio.org There are packages in unstable and testing too. -- CJ van den Berg mailto:cj@vdbonline.com xmpp:cj@vdbonline.com
