==== Forward Audio from a remote server to your host, using PulseAudio ==== \\ In case you want to **reproduce something on a remote host** with no sound card, no pci card, no virtual card at all (not even pulseaudio actually running). **REQUISITES**: * X environment (on both hosts) needs to be using PulseAudio (but not necessarily running on the remote host) * A remote server with SSH connection * A local host (your PC) with sound support and proper configuration: \\ On your host: # edit configuration vim /etc/pulse/default.pa +78 # include the following line near that line (wherever you want) load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 # using root, kill pulseaudio to be ran again killall pulseaudio On remote host (via SSH, the one you want to reproduce Audio): vim /etc/pulse/client.conf # search for "default-server" and uncommend the line # set this line to the following: default-server = 127.0.0.1:4713 # (maybe needed?) # using root, kill pulseaudio to be ran again killall pulseaudio On your host (again): # run an SSH tunnel, to enable the forwarding # (needs port forwarding enabled, which by default it usually is) ssh -R 4713:127.0.0.1:4713 yourserver.com There you go! Now you can play anything on the remote server, and will be played on Your HOST audio device!
