ESound Client Implementation for MS Windows?

Posted by Cliff on from the multiple-inputs-one-output dept.

SplasPood asks: "I've been searching for the last couple years for a way to pipe the sound output from my windows laptop to my Linux mp3/sound box. Currently, I use esound to pipe the sound output from all my *nix boxen over the network to this mp3/sound box which is connected to my stereo. I'd love to be able to do the same for the windows laptop. I use the windows laptop to watch DVDs and movies, and it would be great if I could hear the sound via my stereo. Does anyone have any suggestions? And no, plugging the output of the windows box into the input on the sound card of the linux box is not an option."

    explain to me how this:

    JEsd includes an audio server, which corresponds to 'esd' and classes for communicating with 'esd', which corresponds to 'libesd'.
    This client side code will enable us to hack audio apps in pure Java.
    The audio server depends on Java Sound API.
    Of course, this audio server supports playing audio streams.
    So we can accept outputs from x11amp, xmms, etc,. in pure Java apps via network streams.
    Of course, this audio server supports caching, playing, looping samples.
    The audio server accepts Ogg Vorbis bit-streams via EsounD protocol and works as the Ogg Vorbis player.
    Tons of functionalities of EsounD are left to be implemented.
    JEsd is distributed under GNU LGPL.

    Solves the problem indicated in the top of the article? It doesn't. I want all audio output from my windows box to use esd and talk to my linux box. This doesn't really solve the problem.
