SYNOPSIS
aseqnet [remotehost]
DESCRIPTION
aseqnet is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and
receives event packets over network. Suppose two hosts
connected by network, hostA as a server and hostB as a
client. The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both
hosts. For creating the server port, run the following on
hostA:
hostA% aseqnet
sequencer opened: 128:0
Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA.
(The client number may vary.) For creating the (net
work-)client port, run aseqnet with the hostname of the
server:
hostB% aseqnet hostA
sequencer opened: 132:0
Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to
hostB:132:0, and vice versa.
The ports created by aseqnet can be connected arbitrary to
other sequencer ports via aconnect(1). For example, to
connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0:
hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to
hostB:65:0. The following command plays MIDI on hostB.
hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If hostC
is connected as a client to hostA, events from from hostA
are sent to all connected network clients, i.e. hostB and
hostC. However, only one connection is allowed from a
client to a server.
To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by
ctrl-C or sending signal to them. The server will auto
matically quit.
