[coLinux-users] Problems with ESD - "Cannot initialize Device"?

[Peter L. <pe...@td...>]

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to set up a sound server for quite some time now 
without any success.
In the Wiki (Sound support in CoLinux), I do exactly as told:
export ESPEAKER=192.168.0.2:16001
where the IP address is the Windows host name.
On the Windows side, I run the ESD port linked to from the wiki like 
this:
g:\esound\esd.exe -tcp -public
However, whenever I try to run a program created with a library such as 
FMOD, I always get the error: "Cannot initialize device". I am also not 
able to hear any sound - I wonder what may be wrong here?
Networking works (I can ping external hosts as well as my own machine) 
with no problems. The Esound also seems to be starting up the right way 
on the Windows machine (at least, I hear the sound that indicates this).
I use the Gentoo-image provided with 0.6.2.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Peter.
