+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

-	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 (aka "database tools")
-	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.
