I have done some searching via google on the issue, however most of the results aren't in english, strangely. Anyways. I'd setup FC3 for a friend of mine. And I had connected to the machine via ssh (from my home). Well I was having a little fun. I was playing a few songs on the remote machine using mplayer. Suddenly mplayer gave the following message:
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Nope; you're not on the console, so you're not using the soundcard. You _could_ use esd to do this, but it's a little insecure and kinda a pain. Esd would route the sound to your local esd, where it'd play on your machine. (Yeah, it's a kind of magic...)
:)
Is this something you need, or just having fun? If you need it, you might think about using that machine's webserver to host the files, and play'em from mplayer/bmp/xmms/etc.
