Hi,

I had no luck with NetBSD 3.0 and 3.99.5 (i386 and xen). This is what 
should work: 

1. Starting the esound daemon on the sound server host: 

	$ esd -tcp -public -port 16001 &


2. Let the music program on the client host (like xmms-esound) know, to 
send the sound over the network to the esound daemon on the server host:

	$ bash
	$ export ESPEAKER=192.168.1.2:16001
	$ xmms

Choose an audio file for playback and you should get the sound from the 
sound server 192.168.1.2, where the esound daemon "esd" is running at 
port 16001. 

It works for me here with Linux , so maybe it's a general issue with 
esound on NetBSD. Is it working for anybody outh there? And yes, the 
sound cards  work under NetBSD, even with esound - but for local sound 
output only. The network between the two hosts seems to work okay for all 
other protocols.

Greetings & and many thanks for your help,
Mark Weinem
