I think at the present time thats about the best your gonna get!

I'm thinking less like cofs, more like the networking and console support. =
 I would imagine using cofs would generate a lot of disk through-put.  My u=
nderstanding at present, as I've never really looked at the source ;), is t=
hat the daemon catches serial output to display on the console.  What we re=
ally would want is a daemon which catches the line-out to receive pure anal=
og? output or a digital output to receive PCM data which could be sent stra=
ight to the real sound card on the host.

I downloaded the source code of a recent snapshot, coLinux-0.7.1-20070326-s=
rc.tar.gz, from SourceForge and the, rather old, source code to VNCAudio an=
d in opening one file, vncsound.c in the viewer there is a tiny little prob=

virtual sound card side of things to see how it is done first to firstly se=

Yeah, VNC was my original solution, then Cygwin/X using XDMCP and then Cygw=
in/X using X over SSH using Putty.
