Simple audio forewarding scheme

laptop(1) - wifi router(2) - wifi enabled PC(3) - speakers(4)


(1) is a portable laptop, running some graphical interface. It has ssh access to (3) set up.



(3) is an old machine, and thus running debian without a graphical environment. It's purpose is to output analog audio to the amplifier and is thus stationary.



I would like to have a virtual audio device on (1), which forwards any sound (youtube, local audio files, games sounds - everything) to (3). Sould I use some form of X, jack, pulse or something even simpler?



(1) is a debian with openbox.

          Pulseaudio has several ways to do it, for example with module-rtp-send and module-rtp-receive, for details see here.



          Use an additional module-null-sink if you want to have a "network sink" in your laptop, so you can switch between the remote speakers and other sinks in the usual way.



          This also scales to multiple receiving PCs via multicast.
