[OpenIndiana-discuss] pulseaudio

[Ivar Janmaat]

Totally agree!
I looked at Xspice as an alternatief to ALP but you need a 10 Gbps 
network if people want to use youtube.
The Sun Ray is really light-weight for simple multimedia and even works 
well over WAN connections.

As for pulsaudio. Xspice also needs pulsaudio to be able to transfer 
audio to the client.
Xspice is still in developement.

Kind regards,

Ivar
