 Features
 ========
 
-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.
-
-	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.
-
-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.
-
-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 100K 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.
-
-authentication/encryption via openssl:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	All connections between para_server and para_client are
-	encrypted by default.  For each user of paraslash you must
-	create a public/secret key pair for authentication/encryption.
-
-various user interfaces and utilities:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	o para_gui. Curses based interface, displays information in a
-	curses window and can be used to easily control para_server
-	and para_audiod.
-
-	o para_sdl_gui. Shows pictures (on a per song basis) and
-	other information about the current audio file. Can be used
-	as a screen saver.
-
-	o para_krell. A gkrellm2 plugin that shows small pics and is
-	able to launch 27 different commands by clicking on the image.
-
-	o para_slider. User-friendly stream creator for people who
-	don't like their keyboard.
-
-	o para_dbadm. Simple curses interface for changing attributes.
-
-	o para_fade. Simple volume fader and alarm clock.
