-Features
-========
-
-configurable audio streaming software:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	para_server streams binary audio data (mp3/ogg/m4a files)
-	over local and/or remote networks. It supports three builtin
-	streaming methods (senders): http, dccp, or rtp.
-
-	para_audiod runs on the client side and connects to
-	para_server. The audio stream is read from the network and
-	sent through any of paraslash's filters (decoder, volume
-	normalizer,...). The resulting stream is written to an external
-	program's standard in, usually an audio player like para_write,
-	which comes with paraslash and contains an alsa player. It
-	is possible to capture the stream at any position in the
-	filter chain.
-
-	The receiving/filtering/playing software is also available
-	as standalone command line tool: para_recv, para_filter,
-	and para_write.
-
-configurable audio file selectors:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	There are three audio file selectors available: random,
-	playlist and mysql
-
-	The first two of these are rather simple, and they are always
-	supported. They allow streaming of randomly selected files
-	or files given by a playlist respectively.
-
-	The (optional) mysql selector is more involved. It manages
-	statistics on your audio files, and audio file selection works
-	by sending a user-defined sql-query to the mysql server.
-	This allows rather sophisticated configurations and is
-	explained in detail in README.mysql.
-
-	It is possible to switch between all supported selectors at
-	any time.
+About
+=====
 
-small memory footprint:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	paraslash is lightweight. The stripped binary of para_server
-	with all its features compiled in (mysql/random/playlist
-	selector, mp3/ogg/aac support, http/dccp/ortp support) is
-	about 120K on i386 under Linux. para_audiod is even smaller.
+-----
+Paraslash is a collection of network audio streaming tools for Unix
+systems. It is written in C and released under the GPLv2.
 
-command line interface:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	paraslash commands are sent to para_server and the response is
-	dumped to stdout. This can be used by any scripting language
-	to produce user interfaces with little programming effort.
-
-authentication/encryption via openssl:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	All connections between para_server and para_client are
-	encrypted by default.  For each user of paraslash you must
-	create a public/secret key pair for authentication. The
-	(authenticated) connection is crypted with a symmetric rc4
-	session key.
-
-various user interfaces and utilities:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	o para_gui. Curses based interface, displays information in a
-	curses window and can be used to easily control para_server
-	and para_audiod.
-
-	o para_sdl_gui. Shows pictures (on a per song basis) and
-	other information about the current audio file. Can be used
-	as a screen saver.
-
-	o para_krell. A gkrellm2 plugin that shows small pics and is
-	able to launch 27 different commands by clicking on the image.
-
-	o para_slider. User-friendly stream creator for people who
-	don't like their keyboard.
-
-	o para_dbadm. Simple curses interface for changing attributes.
-
-	o para_fade. Simple volume fader and alarm clock.
