<snip>I saw beep, after I programmed the speaker myself. But the speaker is universal: there is only one.
I want to be user dependent: I have a system with 2 xservers/videocards,soundcards,keybds,mice.
So when a little monitoring box on user A's screen sounds, it should do so to that user's soundcard.
There is already *sessiond* by Ludovic Pollet, that assigns (via fuse) /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp1 depending on $DISPLAY.
So that is fine for apps that write directly to /dev/dsp.For the alsa behaved apps (like libao) you set alsa_card=1 or 0 and ao_example.c plays on either one soundcard or the other.
Thanks guys! H
