[FreeNX-kNX] Using NX server's souncard

[Scott Moser]

I connected to a freenx server from the commercial windows client and
sound worked for me.

Outside of that, I've not played with the sound much.  I have manually
enabled it on reconnect before by doing the following for gnome and esd
aware apps:

My client machine runs esd.  From outside the nx session (commands run
on nx client machine)
esddsp esd -tcp -public -port 8081 &

from inside the nx session (commands run on nx server)
killall esd; esddsp -v --server=hostname.client.machine:8081 esd

You'll hear the esd beep start up to know its working.

This sets up actually 2 copies of esd running on the nx client machine
(one talking to the sound card and one talking to the other) and
one on the server machine.

Its manual, and I'd find it hard to believe the most efficient, but for
simply getting a 'bing' to play when someone IMs me in a different
desktop it works just fine.  And, it 'works for me'.
