I am trying to perfect my home media system... and get a little frustrated.
Here is my setup:

-Gentoo Master backend
-wintv
-Redhat 9 frontend/slave backend
-pvr-250
-laptop redhat 9 frontend
-no capture card

-NFS mounts for recordings and ring buffers are local.
-Using the latest alsa drivers

The master backend works like a champ, and the laptop worked great as a
frontend until it's hard drive died. The slave backend/frontend works fine
when it is running as it's own master. When it is acting as a slave and
frontend there is no sound. Also, if I don't run the backend at all on the
redhat 9 box and just using it as a remote frontend to the master there is
no sound. It also behaves the same for both playing recordings or live-tv.
Mythfrontend gets these errors when connecting to the master backend:

<snip>
open: No such file or directory
open: No such file or directory
open: No such file or directory
----repeats many times-----
open: No such file or directory
open: No such file or directory
player: Can't open audio device:
</snip>

Again, it plays fine as a frontend for it's own backend... it just does this
when connecting to the master backend. I am pretty sure the laptop frontend
was configured about the same and it worked fine. I am at a loss :-)

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
