streaming

Hi,

I try to play sound from my monitoring application, which is an xp virtual machine on VMware ESX 3, on a physical machine with a real sound card, but I can not add from the ESX console sound card.

Currently, I transmit sound with opening an RDP session and play it in this session.

I would like to play sound without openning RDP session, do you have a solution to add a virtual sound card and then stream it with vlc?
