Bug#639555: audacious: controlling audtool via SSH, error

[yellow]

Package: audacious
Version: 2.3-2
Severity: minor

Dear Sir,

For multimedia platforms (PC uzsing LINUX) with audacious, it is nice that audtool could control the audacious running on X11 on a distant

I connect to distant, using SSH

and use some script using audtool2

anyhow autools does not work properly since it asks for X11, and it is a command line based command.


$ audtool2 --help
In program audtool2:
  * While attempting to connect to the D-Bus session bus
Error: D-Bus Error: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

I wished it would have worked.

Which similar program could work eventually if not going to be fixed? 

sincerely
Y.
