[MPlayer-users] Cannot hear audio, running mplayer using VNC Viewer running on Win Xp

[tarunb at solomon-systech.com]

I tried esd also for audio redirection but it also did not help.

Using VNC viewer, I ran mplayer on remote linux machine, ->    ./mplayer
-vo sdl -ao esd:192.168.22.37
/reference/IPs/media/testvectors/video/flv/4982106456.flv 

In cygwin, I ran esd daemon ->    esd.exe -tcp -public

Using netstat on both machines I can see 2 new TCP connections are
established after starting mplayer. 

TCP    192.168.22.37:16001      192.168.22.19:35047    ESTABLISHED
TCP    192.168.22.37:16001      192.168.22.19:35048    ESTABLISHED

192.168.22.37 is IP address of cygwin machine running esd daemon and VNC
viewer.
192.168.22.19 is IP address of linux machine running mplayer.

But still, I cannot hear the audio.

Can someone kindly suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Most VNC viewers don't automatically forward audio, or anything else...

You can try to find one that does, or you can learn about esound/esd.

Ha. I'm the idiot.
