In Debian Edu/Etch, we configure sound in KDE automatically using desktop-profiles. We provide default KDE settings to enable ESD when logging in from a thin client with sound support enabled. Here is how it is done.
The file /etc/desktop-profiles/debian-edu-config.listing contain this entry: # Settings for the thin clients, to enable esd sound edu-ltsp;KDE;/usr/share/debian-edu/thin-client;20;$([ "$LTSP_CLIENT" ] && [ "$ESPEAKER" ] && echo 1);Settings common to all debian-edu LTSP clients This activate the KDE configuration files in /usr/share/debian-edu/thin-client when both LTSP_CLIENT and ESPEAKER is set. Next, the file /usr/share/debian-edu/thin-client/share/config/kcmartsrc contain the KDE configuration to enable esd and use it: [Arts] AudioIO=esd Arguments=\s-F 10 -S 4096 -a esd -s 60 -m artsmessage -c drkonqi - With these two files in place, KDE switches to esd and uses the ESPEAKER setting to send sound to the thin client when logging in from a LTSP thin client with sound enabled. As gnome as far as I know already uses esd, there is no need to reconfigure gnome to get its application to use esd.
