My computers are running FC6 and gnome. One of them, A, is connected to the stereo. Everything works fine on A but I want to control the sound remotely, from B. So, while logged on to B, I ssh to A and start up xmms. I get the message: "Couldn't open audio (on A). Please check that your soundcard is configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, no other program is blocking the soundcard." I get this error only if no one has already logged on to A directly, without having gone through ssh. If someone is logged on to A (at A) and then I ssh from B to A and start xmms, it plays normally. Why is this and is there some workaround? Thanks for the help! Jerry
