[OpenIndiana-discuss] pulseaudio

[Jonathan Adams]

Okay, I just compiled opennx to get a client (which involved compiling
nxssh as well) but it did work, and I've just connected to myself and it's
still working ... wonders will never cease :)


in which case I can probably just tar up the /usr/NX directory and get you
to test it at your end?
