[Cialug] PulseAudio

Under Ubuntu 8.04 (which has a less complex LTSP setup than the others
I've looked at), the answer is no.  I have not yet tried 8.10, though I
likely will at some point next month.

Odds are that it would work under the OpenSUSE or Fedora versions of
LTSP, but you'll have a much more complex setup than in UbuntuLand.

Personally, I don't need web-based audio, so I've never bothered to try
to make it better.

Does it work with flash audio too?  That's often been an issue on ltsp
with audio

This works great in LTSP.  You can get nonconflicting sound on all your
thin clients without any work at all.

It's a huge improvement.

The sound server I couldn't remember at the last LUG meeting is...
PulseAudio:

http://www.pulseaudio.org/

It's a replacement to ESD. It seems to be working pretty well for me - I

haven't yet had a device lock condition where I can't play sounds in one

application because another has control of the sound device.

The main downside I've seen so far (at least in the Mandriva 2009
pre-releases) was there tended to be some sound lag in some
applications, namely games. In Quake3 for instance, there would be about

a 1 second sound lag, which is pretty annoying. Haven't had a chance to
test it with the final released version.
