exact answer quickly.
Computer A = Fedora 8
Computer B = Fedora 8
On Computer A I have headphones connected to my speaker jack and is
where I listen to my music. However, I store also music on Computer B
and have no speakers connected to the soundcard.
What I want to know is, is it possible to say double click on an mp3
file on Computer B and have it output the sound through my network to
the headphones connected on Computer A's soundcard?
And also (not essential) is this also possible if Computer A is running
Windows?
Have you looked into VideoLan? [ http://www.videolan.org/ ]
From their website:
It is a free cross-platform media player
It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need
for additional codecs
It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features
(video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)
I'm a complete yutz wrt multimedia and Linux but VideoLan has given my
desktop life. Just for the heckuvit I've run multiple instances so I
could listen to songs "in the round".
It runs very nicely on a 1G 512 white box.
Highly recommended.
