Try NX from nomachine.com. The Free version FreeNX is in the centos extras repo.

I need to redirect the sound from a remote Centos 5.2 computer to my
local
Centos 5.2 computer. Both are i386 OS.
Searching the web and Centos web site has indicated that it is
possible but I
have not found any information about how to do it.
I am currently using ssh and/or vnc to display the remote computer
locally. At
this point, the sound is being played on the remote computer only.
Thanks for any help, David _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
for this purpose you have to setup your local machine as a sound server. i have set up succesfully using this tutorial, > http://www.hackenberger.at/blog/gentoo-guides/how-to-play-sound-on-a-remote-...
my scenario : two computers on the same private network
on the first computer , i copy the line export ARTS_SERVER=ip of second machine:<port> to the currently logged in user's .bashrc file. Then play any mp3 with mplayer with audio output chosen as arts.
on the second machine start artsd with artsd -n -u -p 5001 option ( however please consider the security) and set up iptables or firewall to make the second computer to accept request from first computer on port 5001. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
