[rdesktop-users] Announce: RDP microphone extension

[<as...@ce...>]

Cendio AB is proud to be able to announce yet another RDP extension:=20
sound capture support. This means that it's now possible to use input=20
devices such as microphones with applications running on Windows terminal=
=20
servers. With this extension, a broader range of applications can be used=
=20
over RDP, including VoIP solutions.=20

The actual RDP protocol extension is documented in the file=20
"rdpsnd-rec.txt", in the rdesktop CVS repository. The latest CVS version=20
has been adapted to support this extension, but a stable release of=20
rdesktop which includes this extension remains.=20

On the server side, the extension is implemented by the "tlsnd" driver,=20
which replaces the standard "rdpsnd" sound redirector. tlsnd is not Open=20
Source - it's a part of the ThinLinc product. However, it's free to use=20
for one concurrent user, just as the rest of ThinLinc, even for commercial=
=20
use. Additional users requires licenses. For more information, see=20
http://www.cendio.com/how-to-buy.=20

To install the tlsnd WTS sound driver, grab the ThinLinc Server CD from=20
http://www.cendio.com/downloads/servercd and install the "WTS Tools"=20
package.


Best regards,=20
