Debian Readme file for the nas audio server package
Steve McIntyre, maintainer, 22nd August 1998
(Updated 30 Jan 1999 to document NAS_MIXER_POLICY addition)
The nas server binary, au/auvoxware has now been patched such that it will
not keep the audio device /dev/dsp captive when it is not actually busy.
This behaviour is controlled by the environment variable
NAS_DEVICE_POLICY; if this is set to "relinquish" when the server starts
then the new code will take effect.
The default init.d script for the nas server will default to setting this
variable, which is expected to be optimal for most people.
There will almost always be a slight delay between the application using
nas finishing and the audio device becoming available for other uses; this
is due to the latency inherent in the design of nas and so cannot really
be changed.
The nas server will also by default change the mixer settings at
startup as follows:
set PCM volume to 50%
change the record input device to LINE
By setting the environment variable NAS_MIZER_POLICY to "leave" when
you start the server this will no longer happen - the server will
leave things completely alone. This has also been added to the default
init.d script.
