7* ASEQNET
8
9aseqnet is a sequencer client which sends/receives events over
10network.  Suppose two hosts (hostA and hostB) connected by network.
11You need to run ALSA system on both hosts.  Then, start aseqnet as a
12server on hostA:
13
14	hostA% aseqnet
15	sequencer opened: 128:0
16
17A user client 128 with port 0 was opened. (The client number may
18vary.)  At next, start client on hostB.  The argument is the hostname
19where server is running.
20
21	hostB% aseqnet hostA
22	sequencer opened: 132:0
23
24Now events sent to hostA:128:0 is transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice
25versa.
26
27You can connect these ports arbitrary to other sequencer ports.
28For example, connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0.  The
29aconnect utility can be used for this:
30
31	hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
32
33Events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered indirectly to hostB:65:0.
34You'll hear MIDI sounds as following:
35
36	hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
37
38The multiple clients may exist simultaneously.  If hostC is connected
39as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all connected
40network clients, hostB and hostC.  However, only one connection is
41allowed from a client to a server.
42
43To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or
44sending signal to them.  The server will automatically quit.
45
46The available options are:
47
48  -p port : specify the TCP port number or TCP service name.
49            Default value is 40002.
50  -s addr : explicit read-subscription to the given address
51            (client:addr).
52  -d addr : explicit write-subscription to the given address.
53  -n name : specify the midi name of the process.
54            Default value is either 'Net Client' or 'Net Server'.
55  -v      : verbose mode.
