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