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.
