Using arts with a remote esd

Using arts with a remote esd

I needed to send the sound from my office workstation to a remote computer that has a sound card and speakers attached to it.

This is because my workstation doesn't have a sound card in it. So how to get my KDE to send the sound over? After about 1 hr playing around in KDE's control center here is how I did it:


$ sudo apt-get install esound
$ echo "esddsp --server=remote artsd -N -n -p 16001 -u" > ~/.kde/Autostart/artsd.sh
$ chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/artsd.sh


Thanks to this site for the correct direction.
