NAME
       aseqnet - ALSA sequencer connectors over network

SYNOPSIS
       aseqnet [remotehost]

DESCRIPTION
       aseqnet is an ALSA sequencer client which sends and receives event packets over network.	 Suppose two hosts connected
       by  network,  hostA as a server and hostB as a client.  The ALSA sequencer system must be running on both hosts.	 For
       creating the server port, run the following on hostA:

	   hostA% aseqnet
	   sequencer opened: 128:0

       Then a user client 128 with port 0 was opened on hostA.	(The client  number  may  vary.)   For	creating  the  (net‐
       work-)client port, run aseqnet with the hostname of the server:

	   hostB% aseqnet hostA
	   sequencer opened: 132:0

       Now all events sent to hostA:128:0 are transferred to hostB:132:0, and vice versa.

       The  ports  created  by aseqnet can be connected arbitrary to other sequencer ports via aconnect(1).  For example, to
       connect hostB:132:0 to a MIDI output device 65:0:

	   hostB% aconnect 132:0 65:0

       Then events to hostA:128:0 will be delivered to hostB:65:0.  The following command plays MIDI on hostB.

	   hostA% pmidi -p 128:0 foo.mid

       The multiple clients may exist simultaneously.  If hostC is connected as a client to hostA, events  from	 from  hostA
       are  sent  to  all  connected  network clients, i.e. hostB and hostC.  However, only one connection is allowed from a
       client to a server.

       To disconnect network, stop all clients before server by ctrl-C or sending signal to them.  The server will automati‐
       cally quit.
