Audio via `ssh` along with `X11Forwarding`?

uxer

There are answers on the internet, but they are built around PulseAudio, e.g.:
https://superuser.com/questions/231920/forwarding-audio-like-x-in-ssh/311830#311830

And there are some voices against PulseAudio: https://sysdfree.wordpress.com/2020/10/30/326/
which are rather compelling to me.

Are there other ways of playing video+audio via ssh?

uxer If both ends run OpenBSD, then it's easy. Just make sndiod listen for TCP connections and connect to it. If only one end is OpenBSD, then you'll have to patch the player to understand sndio

Edit: Probably simpler to use jack: Both ffmpeg and mpv already has code for to use it--just needs to be enabled at compile-time. There's also mpd.
