The Network Audio System is designed for playing, recording, and
|
|
manipulating audio data over a network. Like the X Window System, it
|
|
uses the client/server model to separate applications from the
|
|
specific drivers that control audio input and output devices.

|
|
|
|
o Device-independent audio over the network

|
|
o Extensive mixing, separating, and manipulation of audio data
|
|

|
|
o Use by a growing number of ISVs
|
