Allowing sound for servers?

I'm developing some application which require the use of sounds.  The current servers I'm developing don't have a sound device.  This could be a useful addition for anyone working with media files or doing demos of SharePoint capabilities.

 

Can we get sound devices installed on the servers please?

  Michael,

  Thank you for your post.  Technically we can do this and have tested it.  The problem is the added bandwidth consumption it creates.  This can causes latency through the RDP connection.  At this point the latency is not acceptable to us so we do not support Sound or External devices.  This is something we would like to support in the future.  Thank you

  Chris

  Michael,

   

  On a side note.  Keep in mind you can hear sound over web access URL for any media that is on the farm.  This was used heavily in the EUSP hackathon SharePoint media centers.  https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/Pages/EUSP-Hackathon---Time-to-Vote.aspx
