<div>Hi,<br>I am trying to use a vnc viewer to play audio (through the soundcard on the host machine) on a machine running fedora core 5. It seems i'm having some kind of permissions problem. for example when trying to use bmpx i get the error
<br><br>error [element: sink]<br>gstalsasink.c(778): gst_alsasink_open (): /pipeline_file/sink: Playback open error: Permission denied<br><br>I should point out that it runs fine if i log into the machine directly.<br>If anyone could shed any light on this i would be very greatful
<br>cheers,</div></blockquote></div><br>Unless the VNC protocol has changed since the last time I was working
with it, VNC does NOT support sound. (Sound and printing are probably
the 2 biggest requests for extensions to the VNC protocol.)<br><br>So, with VNC, only graphics get sent to the remote machine. No sound.<br>
