<h3> para_play </h3>
-A command line audio player.
+A command line audio player which supports the same audio formats as
+para_server. It differs from other players in that it has an insert
+and a command mode, like the vi editor. Line editing is based on
+libreadline, and tab completion and command history are supported.

In any case you will need
-- [libosl](http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/osl/). The _object
-storage layer_ library is used by para_server. To clone the source
-code repository, execute
-
- git clone git://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/osl
-
- [lopsub](http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/lopsub/). The long
option parser for subcommands generates the command line and config
file parsers for all paraslash executables. Clone the source code

+- [openssl](https://www.openssl.org/) or
[libgcrypt](ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/). At least one
of these two libraries is needed as the backend for cryptographic
routines on both the server and the client side. Both openssl and
not necessary on the server side, i.e., for sending MP3 files.
- [libid3tag](http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/). For version-2
-ID3 tag support, you willl need the libid3tag development package
+ID3 tag support, you will need the libid3tag development package
`libid3tag0-dev`. Without libid3tag, only version-1 tags are
recognized. The mp3 tagger also needs this library for modifying
(id3v1 and id3v2) tags.
-- [ogg vorbis](http://www.xiph.org/downloads/). For ogg vorbis streams
+- [ogg vorbis](https://www.xiph.org/downloads/). For ogg vorbis streams
you need libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile. The corresponding Debian
packages are called `libogg-dev` and `libvorbis-dev`.
libfaad package. Install the faad library from sources (available
through the above link) to get the mp4ff library and header files.
-- [speex](http://www.speex.org/). In order to stream or decode speex
+- [speex](https://www.speex.org/). In order to stream or decode speex
files, libspeex (`libspeex-dev`) is required.

+- [flac](https://xiph.org/flac/). To stream or decode files
encoded with the _Free Lossless Audio Codec_, libFLAC (`libFLAC-dev`)
must be installed.
- [alsa-lib](ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/). On Linux, you will
need to have the ALSA development package `libasound2-dev` installed.
-- [libao](http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ao/). Needed to build
+- [libao](https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/ao/). Needed to build
the ao writer (ESD, PulseAudio,...). Debian package: `libao-dev`.
- [curses](ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses). Needed for
- UDP. Recommended for multicast LAN streaming.

audio streaming with paraslash.
- Compile and test on your favorite architecture or operating
system. The code is tested only on a limited set of systems, so you
will probably encounter problems when building on different systems.
