How do you handle audio on remote machines?

[macrho]

I have XBMC set up and under voxCommando control - how cool!

I find it immensely useful, especially for getting to albums quickly or movies for that matter
I especially like asking VoxCommand "who is this artist?", "what is this song", which works perfectly when VoxCommando is on the same box that XBMC is running. BUT, if I'm controlling an XBMCBuntu box, is there a way to pipe the audio to the XBMC box when I'm controlling it? Or do I need to have each box running Windows with its own install of VoxCommando to get that functionality?

Hmmm.

I do like a challenge.  I think there is a way to do it, but you'll have to do a little bit of work.

If you look at the TTS actions, you'll see TTS.Speak2Wav

You could use this, and then using xJson, tell a particular XBMC machine to play the wav file.

But if you are looking for a general solution for any TTS action, then I don't know if there is a good way to do that with our current toolset.
