WML Linux Thin Client User Guide
Sound
The WML Linux Thin Client supports networked sound for ICA and Unix/Linux connection types.
The sound tab allows you to start or stop the esound daemon. The esound daemon allows Unix
sessions to support networked audio.
If you use sound for Citrix sesssions, the esound daemon must be switched off.
When you switch the esound daemon on, with speakers or headphones connected, you will hear a
series of tones (best not to wear the headphones when doing this – the sounds may be quite loud).
To send audio from your Unix/Linux application to the WML Linux Thin Client, it is necessary to
configure the application to send audio output to “esound” or “esd” rather than the usual ALSA or
OSS. No other action need be taken. If you have difficulty configuring sound, please check the
firewall settings on your application server; the esound daemon listens for TCP packets on port
16001.
