If you hook the speakers to the CD output of the Linux box, you can
use the cdctrl program in the cdtool package. I wrote cdctrl to allow
it
to be setup as a service in /etc/inetd.conf. You can telnet or write a
short script to control the CD-ROM remotely using cdctrl (e.g., TCL/TK,
java, perl, or even via a web server). If you write such a script,
please
send it to me an I'll include it in the next version of cdctrl!
If the Solaris box is X86 or has a line in jack, you can hook the CD-ROM
audio output from either the front of the CD-ROM or (if you have one),
the Linux-box's sound card ouput to the line in jack on the Solaris box.
Using a player program will use less CPU cycles and less network
bandwidth than reading the audio (cdda2wav), converting (sox), and
playing (play, vplay, etc.).
Another way might be to use netaudio, AudioFile, or real audio and run
the
encoder on the Linux box, then use the client on the Solaris box.
LINUX
NET SOLARIS
CD-ROM -- sound card -- raenc -- || -------rvplayer
CD-ROM-- cdda2wav -- raenc ---||--------rvplayer [maybe]
I hope this helps!
