Re: [Sound] RH 7.2 + Intel 82801AA

Thanks Alan. This seemed to work. But it will only work for the user
that is currently logged into the local machine. When I try to run as
root or some other remote user, I get "Can't connect to sound server".

Is there another program that can 1) place nice with a running kde 2)
allow remote users to ssh into the box and play sounds on the local
machine?

Thanks again,
-Mark
