[Ltsp-discuss] Sound Problem w/ rdesktop from within an LTSP client session

[Verner <vk...@os...>]

Hi list,

=2D On SuSE10.1/LTSP4.2u4 we've got a funny sound problem. We don't want so=
und=20
in Linux, so in lts.conf we do: SOUND_DAEMON =3D "rdp", which as the wiki=20
explains allows the modules but not the daemon to load.

=2D Thus the line SCREEN_02 =3D rdesktop -r sound:local IP-OF-WINDOWSBOX wo=
rks=20
just fine. Windows (a MS2003 terminal server) plays sound beautfully on the=
=20
client.

=2D but that's when we hit the ctrl-alt-f2 and switches entirely to a=20
win-desktop.

=2D PROBLEM: if from within a Linux client session, one opens up a shell an=
d=20
gives "rdesktop -some-paramters -r sound:local IP-OF-WINBOX" then there is =
no=20
sound from that windows session. It doesn't matter if it's a desktop sessio=
n=20
or just an application (with -s).
=2D and, the linuxserver records an error in the shell from which the=20
win-session was opened: "/dev/dsp: No such file or directory"

Any ideas?
