Sound ClientĪs usual I am using Debian, in this case Wheezy, hence maybe a standard Squeeze may not work with this (I haven't tested yet). You could either restart PulseAudio or just reboot the whole thing if you're lazy. Tell PulseAudio to listen (lolpunhaha) to network connections by adding the following 2 lines to /etc/pulse/system.pa (adjust the subnet to whatever you need): Then edit /etc/default/pulseaudio and change PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START from 0 to 1:
#WHAT IS PULSEAUDIO INSTALL#
Then install a few new things:Īpt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-zeroconf avahi-daemon dbus-x11 I would say you should already have sound working on this computer. I am using a Raspberry Pi that I was offered by a friend (because I had gotten technically older) but I am sure this should work with any computer. About a decade ago, in the days of OSS I once even tried to export /dev/pcm using NFS. It may have taken me years, but finally I got around to implementing this and it works, easy. Update 2: I added a tunnel setup that I got from a helpful person on pulseaudio's IRC channel. Update 1: I added the package dbus-x11 which needs to be manually installed for this to work on a system that has no X server.
