+Start streaming manually
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ para_client play
+ para_client stat 2
+
+This starts streaming and dumps some information on the current song
+to stdout.
+
+You should now be able to receive and listen to the stream. To check
+this, try the following on client_host (assuming alsa and an mp3
+stream):
+
+ para_recv -r 'http -i server_host' > file.mp3 #interrupt after a few seconds
+ ls -l file.mp3 # should not be empty
+ para_filter -f mp3dec -f wav < file.mp3 > file.wav
+ ls -l file.wav # should be much bigger than file.mp3
+ para_write -w alsa < file.wav
+
+If this works, proceed. Otherwise doublecheck what is logged by
+para_server and use the --loglevel option of para_recv, para_filter
+and para_write to increase verbosity.
+
+Next, put the pieces together:
+
+ para_recv -r 'http -i server_host' | para_filter -f mp3dec -f wav | para_write -w alsa
+ or
+ mpg123 http://server_host:8000/
+ or
+ xmms http://server_host:8000/
