9 aseqnet is a sequencer client which sends/receives events over
10 network. Suppose two hosts (hostA and hostB) connected by network.
11 You need to run ALSA system on both hosts. Then, start aseqnet as a
15 sequencer opened: 128:0
17 A user client 128 with port 0 was opened. (The client number may
18 vary.) At next, start client on hostB. The argument is the hostname
19 where server is running.
22 sequencer opened: 132:0
24 Now events sent to hostA:128:0 is transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice
27 You can connect these ports arbitrary to other sequencer ports.
28 For example, connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0. The
29 aconnect utility can be used for this:
31 hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0
33 Events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered indirectly to hostB:65:0.
34 You'll hear MIDI sounds as following:
36 hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid
38 The multiple clients may exist simultaneously. If hostC is connected
39 as a client to hostA, events from from hostA are sent to all connected
40 network clients, hostB and hostC. However, only one connection is
41 allowed from a client to a server.
43 To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or
44 sending signal to them. The server will automatically quit.
46 The available options are:
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
52 -d addr : explicit write-subscription to the given address.
