[pulseaudio-discuss] How to PA -> old ESD

[Fog_Watch]

I am a total PulseAudio/esd noob.  Sorry, I just can't figure this one
out.

I am wanting to send sound from my Proliant application server to an old
client X box.  I don't know whether this is possible.

I set up the server with PA 0.9.10 and Mplayer dev-SVN-r26753-4.1.2
(recent).  I can play an audio file with Mplayer and see a "stream"
appear in the PA Manager and go out over the network.

The client box is an old Slackware thing.  I can however successfully
"mpg123 <sound file>" and hear the file.  I thought that I might be
able to do something like: 
# esd -port 4713 # version 0.2.35 (year 2005)
to capture the "sink" from the Proliant box and sent it to the sound
card.  All I get is bothersome silence.

Is it possible to send sound from PA to ESD in this way?  Yes?  Ummm.
Port wrong for esd?  Anything else?

Thanks for your time.

Regards
