I'm running Fedora 11 with the gnome desktop on a small LAN.
I'd like to
run an audio player (say xmms) on box2 and hear it on box1, which is
directly connected to my stereo.
In the past I would connect to box1 from box2 via ssh and then run xmms
from the command line. Now when I try doing this I get this message:
Couldn't open audio. Please check that
Your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard.
I can play audio with problems from box1, so the soundcard must be OK.
I have pulseaudio selected as the output plugin in xmms. (The same
problem occurs with alsa and the other plugins.)
It seems likely, then, that the problem is some other program is running
on box1 that is blocking use of the soundcard.
I have been thinking more on this. If you want to play sound when
logged in to box 1, you could run "pulseaudio --start" and then run
xmms. I have not tried it...
