My biggest concern with turning on Audio is that my users would stream
radio and other intensive audio, etc through the browser interface.   I
would like to enable it for internal web-based training, but thus far
have shunned it as not practical until we can assess the long term
impact.  Anyone have experiences (good/bad) with users and audio abuse?

Hi Rob,

No sound cards needed on servers. 

You don't state what sort of winterm, Wyse?

If the winterm is capable of audio, and audio is enabled (CMC policy,
server listener settings etc) then it's certainly possible to have audio
output on a winterm. Performance of a WAN connection is pretty poor (did
I mean awful?) but if the winterms are LAN connected it'll work. 

PS4 does a signifcantly better job of audio, even without content
redirection. For example you've got support for microphones, the
Phillips dictation system and much better multimedia performance.

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [THIN] Audio over Citrix


 
I have been tasked recently to determine what it would take to transmit
audio to a Winterm in a Citrix session. I am all HP DL360 servers
running Server 2003 servers and running MFXP 1.0 FR3/SP4. Is anyone
doing audio over Citrix to terminals? How are you accomplishing this? Is
there a "pseudo" audio driver that would enable the generation of audio
on the server-side to be transmitted to the audio port of a winterm?
Surely I would not need to install sound cards in my servers to
accomplish this task. I haven't been able to come across anything in a
Google browse. Looking to make available from a weblink a short audio
message from the executive leadership form time to time. The pricing
from our Telco provider is astronomical to host a short message
accessible by 800 number. We are looking for alternatives. Any ideas???
 
Any information anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
