The Network Audio System (NAS)

In a nutshell, NAS is the audio equivalent of an X display server.  The
Network Audio System (NAS) was developed 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.

Key features of the Network Audio System include:
    • Device-independent audio over the network
    • Lots of audio file and data formats
    • Can store sounds in server for rapid replay
    • Extensive mixing, separating, and manipulation of audio data
    • Simultaneous use of audio devices by multiple applications
    • Use by a growing number of ISVs
    • Small size
    • Free!  No obnoxious licensing terms

Version: 1.9.5
