WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide
Sound
The Sumo 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 Sumo, 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.
