Re: [mh] Sound

[Kaleb M. <kal...@ya...>]

Tim,

Running Cat5e isn't a problem as I plan on running quite a bit of it for 
iButton toys.  But I'm not very familiar with soundcards and how to 
manipulate them.  If I had a 5 channel sound card, could I run each 
channel to a different room and then control sound on each speaker.  For 
example have several instances of xmms running, each playing music on a 
different channel?  Or perhaps having MH only send voice responses to a 
particular channel/room?

I'll definitely have to read more about the Audrey's, as that is 
probably the optimal solution.
