was closed with a reference to pulsaudio, which is not what i am asking.
How do I tunnel sound through ssh? I distinctly want a solution using ssh which would work on a headless server. preferably | ssh user@server " cat | aplay" or something like that, which is possible with aplay itself but not things like vlc or mocp
It is fine and would be nice if i could just select a sink in pulseaudio on my local ubuntu for audio to go into to be able to pipe it around, but pulseaudio on the server is something that i cant rely on doing its job.
Is there a solution or do i have to get a different server setup capable of pulseaudio?
