NAME
Aaxp, Amaxine, Asparc - a network-transparent audio server for Alpha AXP
workstations, Personal DECstations, and SparcStations.
SYNOPSIS
The AF audio server is a network transparent system developed at Digital
CRL. The audio servers described in this manual page support the native
8KHz CODECs on some DEC workstations and the SparcStation.
DESCRIPTION
Aaxp is an AF server with native CODEC audio device dependent support for
DEC3000 workstations.
Amaxine is an AF server with native CODEC audio device dependent support
for DECstation 5000 model 25 workstations.
Asparc is an AF server with native CODEC audio device dependent support for
SparcStations.

OPTIONS

AUDIO DEVICES
These audio servers present a single 8KHz input/output audio device to
client applications. The audio device number is 0.
CONNECTION NAME
From the user's prospective, every AF server has an audio connection of the
form:
hostname:portOffset
This information is used by the application to determine how it should con-
nect to the server.
hostname
The hostname specifies the name of the machine to which the audio
device is physically connected.
portOffset
The portOffset is used to identify the audio server's port on host-
name. For example, to simultaneously run two audio servers on a
given host, you might select 0 or 1 for portOffset.
If the connection name to an audio server is not specified, then the
environment variables AUDIOFILE or DISPLAY will be used.
ACCESS CONTROL
The sample server provides two types of access control: an authorization
protocol which provides a list of ``magic cookies'' clients can send to
request access, and a list of hosts from which connections are always
accepted.
BUGS
If you encounter a repeatable bug, please submit a problem report to () and
include the source code if possible.
