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 termsVersion: 1.9.5
