Reproduce: 1) Setup two machines with sound, one running esd with -public -tcp 2) On the machine NOT running esd, try playing something (eg with xmms) with ESPEAKER set, or with "use remote host" checked. It should work. 3) Now on that same machine, start a local esd, and repeat - xmms will play to the local daemon, whether you have ESPEAKER or "play on remote host" set. A typo means that every host is thought to be localhost, so esd trys to connect via local unix sockets before trying tcp, a good idea if it really is local - but if you also have a local esd unix socket - it wont do what you want! Ive tried reporting this on bugzilla.gnome.org, but its not responding right now - i'll do it when it gets back up. (I had already searched for the bug, its not there) the attatched one-liner patch fixes it for me. Im not sure if there are security implications for this, eg stealing a users sound by planting a UNIX socket where esd expects to find it... taviso@gentoo.org 2003-03-22 09:41:13 0000 Created an attachment (id=9695) Not all hosts are localhost. one-liner fix. taviso@gentoo.org 2003-03-22 09:46:46 0000 Created an attachment (id=9696) arg, lets try that again. foser@gentoo.org 2003-04-25 09:46:49 0000 have you reported this to gnome.org bugzilla already ? got a bugno ? The fix looks fairly obvious to me, see no reason to assume it's going to be a security risk. taviso@gentoo.org 2003-04-25 17:07:53 0000 #108954 no reply from maintainers. foser@gentoo.org 2003-05-14 09:02:14 0000 i think esound is pretty unmaintained. I don't even know why they do the double check !host || *host . But then i haven't looked at the source really. anoyone anything to say before i add this ? taviso@gentoo.org 2003-06-10 02:15:40 0000 a gnome developer has reponded that this has been fixed in cvs. taviso@gentoo.org 2003-06-10 10:24:16 0000 esound-0.2.29-r1.ebuild includes the patch, Thanks! 9695 2003-03-22 09:41 0000 Not all hosts are localhost. esound_remote-versus-local.diff text/plain Q29tbW9uIHN1YmRpcmVjdG9yaWVzOiBlc291bmQtMC4yLjI5L2RvY3MgYW5kIGVzb3VuZC0wLjIu Mjkub3JpZy9kb2NzCmRpZmYgLXUgZXNvdW5kLTAuMi4yOS9lc2RsaWIuYyBlc291bmQtMC4yLjI5 Lm9yaWcvZXNkbGliLmMKLS0tIGVzb3VuZC0wLjIuMjkvZXNkbGliLmMJMjAwMy0wMy0yMiAxNDoy MzowOS4wMDAwMDAwMDAgKzAwMDAKKysrIGVzb3VuZC0wLjIuMjkub3JpZy9lc2RsaWIuYwkyMDAy LTA3LTE1IDEwOjI4OjI2LjAwMDAwMDAwMCArMDEwMApAQCAtNTU4LDcgKzU1OCw3IEBACiBzdGF0 aWMgaW50IGlzX2hvc3RfbG9jYWwoY29uc3QgY2hhciogaG9zdCkgCiB7CiAgICAgY2hhciBobmJ1 ZlsyNTZdPSIiOwotICAgIGlmICghaG9zdCB8fCAoISpob3N0KSkgcmV0dXJuIDE7CisgICAgaWYg KCFob3N0IHx8ICgqaG9zdCkpIHJldHVybiAxOwogCiAgICAgZ2V0aG9zdG5hbWUoaG5idWYsIHNp emVvZihobmJ1ZikpOwogICAgIHJldHVybiAoIXN0cmNhc2VjbXAoaG9zdCxobmJ1ZikgfHwgIXN0 cmNhc2VjbXAoaG9zdCwgImxvY2FsaG9zdCIpKTsK 9696 2003-03-22 09:46 0000 arg, lets try that again. esound_remote-versus-local.diff text/plain ZGlmZiAtcnUgZXNvdW5kLTAuMi4yOS5vcmlnL2VzZGxpYi5jIGVzb3VuZC0wLjIuMjkvZXNkbGli LmMKLS0tIGVzb3VuZC0wLjIuMjkub3JpZy9lc2RsaWIuYwkyMDAyLTA3LTE1IDEwOjI4OjI2LjAw MDAwMDAwMCArMDEwMAorKysgZXNvdW5kLTAuMi4yOS9lc2RsaWIuYwkyMDAzLTAzLTIyIDE0OjIz OjA5LjAwMDAwMDAwMCArMDAwMApAQCAtNTU4LDcgKzU1OCw3IEBACiBzdGF0aWMgaW50IGlzX2hv c3RfbG9jYWwoY29uc3QgY2hhciogaG9zdCkgCiB7CiAgICAgY2hhciBobmJ1ZlsyNTZdPSIiOwot ICAgIGlmICghaG9zdCB8fCAoKmhvc3QpKSByZXR1cm4gMTsKKyAgICBpZiAoIWhvc3QgfHwgKCEq aG9zdCkpIHJldHVybiAxOwogCiAgICAgZ2V0aG9zdG5hbWUoaG5idWYsIHNpemVvZihobmJ1Zikp OwogICAgIHJldHVybiAoIXN0cmNhc2VjbXAoaG9zdCxobmJ1ZikgfHwgIXN0cmNhc2VjbXAoaG9z dCwgImxvY2FsaG9zdCIpKTsK
