ssh -Y into the remote box, type mudita24/envy24control and you should have

the full GUI running happily on a remote machine. My box with dual Yamaha

db60 clones is like that and it works fine -- just like it's local. I use

 mudita24 on the remote machine to control the Terratec DMX6fire and my

hacked Dynex/db60 combo ( http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau

/2010/7/3/171075 outputs Toslink back to the terratec for mixing in

DMX6Fire. which outputs SPDIF to M-Audio M-66 on desktop machine for more

mixing :-) )
Without remote X Window display (the whole point of X is that the GUI can

be remoted to a lightweight PC and the app can run on a big burly machine)

you can also do quite a bit with a remote terminal and alsamixer(1),

assuming you like using your arrow keys on a keyboard instead of a mouse.

Even the peak meters can be read via terminal:
> amixer -c M66 cget iface=PCM,name='Multi Track Peak',numid=45

quoted text
> numid=45,iface=PCM,name='Multi Track Peak'

>   ; type=INTEGER,access=r-------,values=22,min=0,max=255,step=0

>   : values=63,62,51,49,56,60,63,62,59,54,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,113,112

( see https://mudita24.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mudita24/README )
Finally, both mudita24 and envy24control both have the ability to be midi

controlled, so you could also remote-control via http://qmidinet.sourceforge

.net/qmidinet-index.html by adding the following options to the mudita24

command-line.
      -m, --midichannel

              Use  MIDI  controller  values to control the Faders in the

mixer

              view.  The application will  react  to  controllers  on

 channel

              midi-channel  and send controllers on this channel when the

user

              moves the GUI sliders.
       -M, --midienhanced

              Use an enhanced mapping from midi controller values to db

 slid-

              ers.
Alternately, had mudita24 been implemented in Qt, it would have been pretty

easy to merge in the embedded-webserver and associated code I hacked to

facilitate QML to application-embedded webserver interactions via

JavaScript, ala http://code.google.com/p/voicetogoog/ or

http://code.google.com/p/mediatator/ ...
The app w/ embedded webserver would then be controllable from any machine

on the network, while interacting directly with local hardware. IMHO, more

apps should have embedded webservers and/or REST services. XBMC makes quite

nice use of it.

PS: also no reason to panic - there seem to be plenty of modern full-size

mobos with THREE PCI slots so mudita24 has a long life ahead of it:

PPS: Hoping to upgrade one of my PCI and Envy24 boxen to a more recent

Linux so's I can get back on Tim's latest changes to mudita24 -- I'm stuck

at the version that worked on the old Gtk and that'll probably motivate me

to get back to working on mudita24, even though I should be working on

something else. :-)
