NAME
  Aaxp,	Amaxine, Asparc	- a network-transparent	audio server for Alpha AXP
  workstations,	Personal DECstations, and SparcStations.

SYNOPSIS

  The AudioFile	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 AudioFile server with native CODEC	audio device dependent sup-
  port for DEC3000 workstations.

  Amaxine is an	AudioFile server with native CODEC audio device	dependent
  support for DECstation 5000 model 25 workstations.

  Asparc is an AudioFile server	with native CODEC audio	device dependent sup-
  port for SparcStations.

OPTIONS

  -help

       Use the help switch to determine	device independent arguments.

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.
