Ouch... thank you for trying, though... I can't get it working either...

This begs the question... What audio stream is it that a desktop can play that the nit cannot? Playing a CD??? That makes no sence.
Well, there's the storage thing, and being able to use Amarok (I know, I can use Amarok on the IT too, but things like song filtering tale longer. ) And even more importantly, gaming! I can play on my Wii and use my IT as wireless headphones so I don't bother anyone else.

I suppose I could try to run tvtime over SSH to get the video on the N810, but the screen is rather small....

I can see your point about using it to quickly get wireless speakers and the like too, though. The really nice thing about Pulse is that it would let both cases be used!

(Also, one of my computers has no speakers, so it's always using Pulse to borrow another machine's anyway. )
