I have just release a small package called netaudio. You can pick it
from
ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/netaudio/
You will find there
-source
-source in RPM format
-binary RPMs tested on RedHat 4.2
-A README explaining a bit how it works
This package should work nicely on any linux distribution working with
libc version 5. There is a glitch to make it work on glibc based
distribution (RedHat 5). I am working on that
Here is a short intro.
If you run either an X terminal, or often run application on linux server
and display on your "less powerful" linux workstation, then netaudio might
be useful for you. Without recompiling a single program, you will be able
to
-access your floppy from the server with normal commands
tar tvf /dev/fd0
-access your sound cards (mixer, dsp, audio) with most
audio programs, unmodified.
-Play CD on your CDrom and control that from application
running on the server
For linux based X terminal users, it is a nice (and the only one) solution
to give them access to their peripherals.
It works with a small preloaded share object. So installation is simple.
Nothing to recompile, no special kernel module.
Distributed under the GPL license!
Comments appreciated!
