This option allows to run multiple instances of aseqnet without having to double check the assigned port number, since each one can get spawned with a unique name.

.SH NAME
|
|
aseqnet \- ALSA sequencer connectors over network
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B aseqnet
|
|
[remotehost]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B aseqnet
|
|
is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and receives event packets
|
|
over network.
|
|
Suppose two hosts connected by network,
|
|
.I hostA
|
|
as a server
|
|
and
|
|
.I hostB
|
|
as a client.
|
|
The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both hosts.
|
|
For creating the server port, run the following on hostA:
|
|
.IP "" 4
|
|
hostA% aseqnet
|
|
.br
|
|
sequencer opened: 128:0
|
|
.PP
|
|
Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA.
|
|
(The client number may vary.)
|
|
For creating the (network-)client port, run
|
|
.B aseqnet
|
|
with the hostname of the server:
|
|
.IP "" 4
|
|
hostB% aseqnet hostA
|
|
.br
|
|
sequencer opened: 132:0
|
|
.PP
|
|
Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice
|
|
versa.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The ports created by
|
|
.B aseqnet
|
|
can be connected arbitrary to other sequencer ports via
|
|
.B aconnect(1).
|
|
For example, to connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0:
|
|
.IP "" 4
|
|
hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
|
|
.PP
|
|
Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to hostB:65:0.
|
|
The following command plays MIDI on
|
|
.I hostB.
|
|
.IP "" 4
|
|
hostA% pmidi \-p 128:0 foo.mid
|
|
.PP
|
|
The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or
|
|
sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit.
