My idea was: (on the computer without sound) # mv /dev/dsp /dev/dsp_org # mkfifo /dev/dsp And then on the computer with sound: # ssh <remote> cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp so when I cat something in /dev/dsp on the computer with no sound, it is read by the other computer and send to his dsp, and play the sound. Two problems here: - cat terminates after the last byte is read - when I use normal audio programs, like bplay, it complains that /dev/dsp has an invalid argument, in which it is right. I am afraid that the latter problem can not be solved so easily. I think I need to hack the audio drivers a bit, so I can tap off the stream. What really would be great is a Network Character Device, like NBD. Until now I have not been able to find this. ethertap and tuntap are not suitable for this problem either. I also have tried EsounD. Works great when you only want to play seperate samples, but it is useless then a program sends it's data directly to /dev/dsp. If someone can help me with this, that would be really great! Thanks, Sebastiaan > > > > > Thanks! > > Sebastiaan > > > > > > On Tue, 27 Mar 2001, R. M.
