[FreeNX-kNX] nxclient and freenx server sound problem

[Mohammad Sahami]

I switched from Red Hat Enterprise 4 to Ubuntu 8.10. I installed esound,
esound-clients,  gstreamer0.10-esd. I set mplayer audio preference on esd
(/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf - ao=esd). Then I installed flash player 10 and
downloaded flahsupport esound support source code from 
https://svn.revolutionlinux.com/MILLE/XTERM/trunk/libflashsupport/src and
compiled installed it and made /tmp/.esd/socket.

Now I can hear mutimedia sound via mplayer and firefox flash sound.

But another problem is that either flash sound playing on firefox or video
sound playing on mplayer is choppy. If you minimize firefox and mplayer or
put another window over mplayer or firefox window, so that you don't see the
video, sound is not choppy and it's quality is fantastic. But if you want to
see the video, sound is very choppy.

I am using windows xp client and remote Ubuntu-Gnome in a LAN. My client's
network utilization is less than 2Mbps. I expect nxclient use more bandwidth
while Gnome is playing a video.

I installed binary version of RealPlayer11GOLD. It supports alsa and oss as
audio driver and no option for esd. I don't know how I can hear remote sound
while I play a video on real player.

Regards,
M. Sahami
