I've always wondered if this method is any different from simply using
ssh with the -X flag.
ssh user at mythbox -X
mythtv-frontend
do these two commands do anything different? On a similar note, does
anyone know if there is a way to export audio via ssh. Typically if I
ssh into a box and run xmms, the sound will be playing on the box that I
sshed into, not on the one where I sshed from.
