-mysql-based audio file selector:

-	the (optional) mysql database tool manages some statistics on
-	your audio files. It contacts the mysql server to decide which
-	song to play next by sending a user-defined sql-query. This
-	allows rather sophisticated configurations and is explained
-	in detail in README.mysql.
+configurable audio file selectors:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	There are three audio file selectors available:
+
+		- random
+		- playlist
+		- 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
+	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.
+
+	It is possible to switch between all supported selectors at
+	any time.
 
 small memory footprint:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 	paraslash is lightweight. The stripped binary of para_server
-	with all its features compiled in (mysql/dopey dbtool,
-	mp3/ogg support, http/ortp support) is about 100K on i386
-	under Linux. para_audiod is even smaller.
