Hi Cyril I hit the same bug here. The problem is the use of esd_get_server_info with what looks like a play-only descriptor. That call never returns. Here is a workaound: You can "export ESPEAKER=your_esd_host" and use vlc --aout=sdl ... If anyone want to test, remember to run your esd with options such as -tcp -public -promiscuous see /etc/esound/esd.conf and don't blame me if anyone can record your mic ;) You'll find a fix attached to this mail. It only fixes the crashing stuff and a memory leak, but my guess is that the whole latency computation is... let's say weird. Why are we timing esd_get_server_info if we later use esd_get_latency? And why only when host is remote? -- Nirgal
