2-17-2 Remote audio on Linux RGS on Linux also supports remote audio, allowing audio generated by the application on the Remote Computer to be captured and transmitted to the Local Computer for playback (presuming the Remote Computer has a physical audio device installed). In addition, microphone input on the Local Computer can be sent to the application running on the Remote Computer. However, unlike Windows, microphone input on Linux can be provided only via the remote USB driver. Figure 2-25 shows the RGS audio subsystem (green boxes), and the audio data paths for Linux-these data paths are described in Table 2-2. To simplify comparison with Windows, all audio components shown on the Windows diagram in Figure 2-24 are retained below, but partially obscured if not supported on Linux.

The numbering and lettering in the table correspond to the numbering and lettering in Figure 2-25. For a list of audio devices supported on Linux Remote Computers, see "Appendix C: Linux remote audio device support." Table 2-2 Linux RGS audio data paths Audio Playback from the Remote Computer to the Local Computer Sending of microphone audio from the Local Computer to the Remote Computer 1. The application-generated audio output. 2. If an audio device is installed, the application-generated audio is routed through it. Note that blade workstations do not contain audio devices- therefore, audio playback is not supported on blade workstations. 3. The HP Remote Audio virtual device is not supported on Linux. 4. Audio from either the audio device is sent to the RGS Audio Recorder. 5. The RGS Audio Recorder captures the audio, which is sent by RGS to the Local Computer. 6. The RGS Audio Player on the Local Computer decodes the received audio, and sends it to the audio mixer. 7. The output of the audio mixer is sent to the Local Computer audio device. 8. The audio device drives an audio output device, such as a speaker. USB devices are Local: Linux does not support locally-mounted USB microphones. USB devices are Remote: Beginning at RGS 5.2.0, certain USB microphones can be mounted to the Remote Computer using the remote USB driver-see Appendix B for the supported microphones. See the previous section for a description of Remote USB operation. RGS overview 36
