configurable audio streaming software:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
para_server streams binary audio data (mp3/ogg files) over
- local or remote networks. It contains two built-in streamers:
- the http streamer and the ortp streamer.
+ 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 back and sent through
- any of paraslash's filters (mp3 decoder, ogg vorbis decoder,
- volume normalizer,...) and the resulting stream is written to
- an external program's standard in, usually an audio player,
- like para_play that uses alsa. It is possible to grab the
- stream at any position in the filter chain.

The receiving/filtering software is also available as
- standalone command line tool: para_recv grabs the http or ortp
- stream and writes to stdout; para_filter reads from stdin,
- converts the stream according to the given --filter command
- line options and writes the transformed stream to stdout.

configurable audio file selectors:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are three audio file selectors available:
-
- - random
- - plm (playlist manager)
- - mysql
+ 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 is
+ statistics on your audio files, and audio file selection is
done by sending a user-defined sql-query to the mysql server.
This allows rather sophisticated configurations and is
explained in detail in README.mysql.
small memory footprint:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
paraslash is lightweight. The stripped binary of para_server
- with all its features compiled in (mysql/random dbtool,
- mp3/ogg support, http/ortp support) is about 110K on i386
- under Linux. para_audiod is even smaller.
-
-command line interface, including shell:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- para_client without arguments starts interactive (shell)
- mode. Otherwise, command is sent to para_server directly
- and output is dumped to stdout. This can be used by any
- scripting language to produce user interfaces with very little
- programming effort.
