Note that no special library (not even the mp3 decoding library libmad)
is needed for para_server if you only want to stream mp3 files.
Start para_server
-----------------
+Before starting the server make sure you have write permissions to
+the directory /var/paraslash.
+
+ sudo chown $user /var/paraslash
+
+Alternatively, use the --afs_socket Option to specify a different
+location for the afs command socket.
+
For this first try, we'll use a debug level of two to make the
output of para_server more verbose.
Start streaming manually
------------------------
- para play
- para stat 2
+ para_client play
+ para_client stat 2
This starts streaming and dumps some information about the current
audio file to stdout.
