Thin Client and Sound

[Phil Kay]

Everyone,

I'm normally just a lurker on the list, but I've been having some fun
implementing thin-clients where I work.  They told me to cut my budget
for new computers so I am working on a way to get older hardware to stay
useful for longer periods of time.

The thin-clients work great.  However, when a user wants to use KDE, I
haven't been able to figure out how to get sound to work.  I can get
individual applications to work by pointing the sound to esd on the
thin-client.  KDE seems to indicate that ARTS can be used in a network
environment, but I have had trouble finding any documentation on it.

To initiate a further discussion, gnome just works.  It seems to
identify the underlying sound system and picks it up just fine.

Does anyone have any pointers on where to look for information.

Thanks,
