>From what I can tell, the new version (5.0.8) is more capable, but it's still a long way from just working. So far, I'm doing the following in addition to the instructions at the wiki: - Using "SOUND_DAEMON = pulse" in lts.conf (not sure if it's necessary, but when things still didn't work much better, I started trying to understand: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Feisty/HOWTO:_PulseAudio There may be other good information in there) - apt-get install libasound2-plugins on the server (this was the key to getting a bunch of ALSA apps working on clients) Note that I also did some of the steps described in the above HOWTO (Installation, ALSA Configuration). I don't know how much of this is necessary. At this point, I can get ESD and ALSA applications to work. I don't have a very stock system any more and I certainly don't have an understanding of the various sound systems, so won't be much help documenting what it really takes to get sound working. Is there someone who would know what Ubuntu has done in this area, that could contribute a write-up of how to get sound working well under Debian/LTSP? -- Bryan Sutula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
