Nomachine claims that nxclient will support remote sound via esound.

In Gnome I set Applications -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Multimedia
Systems Selector -> Audio
both Input and Output on ESD-Enlightenment Sound Daemon. But I couldn't hear
remote sound.

I found that when I connect to linux box through nxclient, ESPEAKER variable
does not have the correct value so I add these lines in ~/.bashrc to correct
it's value:

let ESPEAKER=$(echo $DISPLAY | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d. -f1)
let ESPEAKER=ESPEAKER+7000
export ESPEAKER=127.0.0.1:$ESPEAKER

After that I can play a sound through esdplay command like this:
esdplay /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

and can hear remote sound.

But when I set Xmms -> Options -> Preferences -> Audio Output Plugins on
eSound Output Plugin 1.2.10 [libesdout.so], and play an audio file it will
be closed with Segmentation fault message.

Also I installed Realplayer11GOLD on my RHEL4 linux box as remore Freenx
server. It does not have any audio driver for eSound. It jus support OSS and
ALSA in Tools -> Preferences -> Hardware.

Realplayer will hang when i open a video file.

What a difficulty?

I appreciate if anyone help me resolve remote NX sound?

Redars,
M. Sahami
