    How to set up network audio?

    I use a KDE desktop (Kubuntu Fiesty) via VNC from a Windows PC. I would like for sound to also be exported to the Windows PC.

    I notice that KDE has the option to output sound using NAS but I cannot find any instructions that indicate how to configure it. I gather that I'll need nasd running on the Windows PC, but am unsure how to tell KDE to direct the sound to this nas server.

    I have "nasd -aa" running on the Windows PC and "auplay -audio tcp/otherpc:8000 somesound.au" correctly plays.

    In Settings/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System/Hardware there is an option under output devices for Network Audio System, I have selected that and put "-audio tcp/otherpc:8000" in "the use other custom options" box and tried various other tings that I thought might work, but so far nothing has worked.

    Does anyone here know how to set this up or alternatively can someone point me to the configuration instructions.
Working...
