spice up your life...

spice up your life...

[Jay Johnston]

sorry.  i had to.  here's what i wanna do...and i can't figure out the
easy way (ha!) to do it, but i'm sure there must be one.  i have my
desktop and my laptop linked with ethernet and my desktop is hooked up
to my stereo.  my desktop is mounted on the laptop through nfs.  say i
wanted to play sound on the desktop (and therefore through the stereo)
from the laptop...

cat <soundfile> > /mnt/<desktop>/dev/dsp

doesn't work, and 

cat <soundfile> > /mnt/<desktop>/dev/audio

plays the sound on the laptop.  this is sorta expected, since they're
not regular files.  is there any way to set this up so that all sound
played on the laptop is routed to the desktop...possibly without a
server such as NAS?

thanks, jay

Hi

Imho nas would probably be the best option. You can do it with netcat, but
nas is much better.

EsounD and rplay are other alternatives to nas, which allow
transparent networked audio.  More info on Esound at:
