NAME

       Aserver - start the audio server

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The command starts the HP-UX Audio server, which can run on a system with audio hardware.  See Audio(5) for information about which systems
       have audio hardware.  The option forces the starting of the Audio server; this option is only needed if the Aserver has problems starting.

   The Audio Server
       Before using any audio tools such as the the system or X station must be running two audio server processes, called On a  Series  700,  the
       Remote Procedure Call daemon must also be running.

       Normally,  the  Aserver	processes and start automatically when the system is booted.  If problems occur on an ENTRIA or ENVIZEX X station,
       see the X station owner's manual.  On a Series 700 Audio hardware, first check if is running. Type the following:

       If it is running, you see a line similar to the following.

       If it is not running, see HP 9000/DCE documentation for information on restarting it.  If is running, verify that the Aserver  is  running.
       Type:

       If the Aserver is running you will see lines similar to the following, which indicate the presence of the two Aserver processes:

       If it is not running, become root and restart it as follows:

       If it fails to start, reissue the command with the option:

   Using Audio over the Network
       From  a	workstation,  you can also use the Audio Editor and Control Panel over the network. However, the remote system is where the actual
       playback and recording occur.

       The local workstation (or audio client) can be any Series 700 system.  The remote system (or audio server) can be a Series 700 or an X sta-
       tion  with  audio  hardware  and  must  have the Aserver processes running.  If the server is a workstation, it must also allow access from
       remote clients (see asecure(1M)) and must have running.

       To make the system an audio client, set the variable by modifying the file as follows:

	      Korn and POSIX Shells:

	      C Shell:

       For system_name, identify the workstation or X Station running the Aserver.

       If the variable is not set, the Audio Library attempts to use to the Aserver on the system defined by the variable.  If neither nor is set,
       the Aserver on the local machine is used.

DEPENDENCIES

       The Audio Server must run on a system that has audio hardware.  Note that HP-UX for the 8MB 705 System does not include audio software.

       The Audio Server was developed by HP.

NAME

       auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter

SYNOPSIS

       auscope [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       auscope	is  an	audio  protocol  filter  that can be used to view the network packets being sent between an audio application and an audio
       server.

       auscope is written in Perl, so you must have Perl installed on your machine in order to run  auscope.   If  your  Perl  executable  is  not
       installed  as  /usr/local/bin/perl,  you should modify the first line of the auscope script to reflect the Perl executable's location.  Or,
       you can invoke auscope as

       perl auscope [ option ] ...

       assuming the Perl executable is in your path.

       To operate, auscope must know the port on which it should listen for audio clients, the name of the desktop  machine  on  which	the  audio
       server  is running and the port to use to connect to the audio server.  Both the output port (server) and input port (client) are automati-
       cally biased by 8000.  The output port defaults to 0 and the input port defaults to 1.

ARGUMENTS

       -i<input-port>
	       Specify the port that auscope will use to take requests from clients.

       -o<output-port>
	       Determines the port that auscope will use to connect to the audio server.

       -h<audio server name>
	       Determines the desktop machine name that auscope will use to find the audio server.

       -v<print-level>
	       Determines the level of printing which auscope will provide.  The print-level can be 0 or 1.  The larger  numbers  provide  greater
	       output detail.

EXAMPLES

       In  the	following  example,  mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine running the audio server, which is connected to the TCP/IP network
       host tcphost.  auscope uses the desktop machine with the -h command line option, will listen for client requests on port 8001  and  connect
       to the audio server on port 8000.

       Ports  (file  descriptors)  on the network host are used to read and write the audio protocol.  The audio client auplay will connect to the
       audio server via the TCP/IP network host tcphost and port 8001:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm

	      auplay -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 dial.snd

       In the following example, the auscope verbosity is increased to 1, and the audio client autool will connect to the  audio  server  via  the
       network host tcphost, while displaying its graphical interface on another server labmcx:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm -v1

	      autool -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 -display labmcx:0.0
