Sound & ssh

[Graaf_van_Vlaanderen]

Just a general question.
Is it possible to forward sound through a ssh connection?

I read somewhere that esd(1) can be run on the server and the client, forwarding sound over ssh. Maybe look into that?

1. use mpd/musicpd from Ports
2. PulseShit from Ports (PulseAudio)
3. dd < /dev/random | ssh user@host "dd > /dev/dsp"

There's also audio/nas, the Netword Audio Server.
